One approach which I use now and then: In the search results page, where 
I say "Found 1 result, blah blah" I also add some JavaScript to recenter 
the map as needed.

There are a few approaches to that, probably the easiest being that the 
server side of your search also finds the bbox of the matching road, 
then supplies that in the HTML:

var extent = new OpenLayers.Bounds(<?php fill it in here ?>);
map.zoomToExtent(extent);

Is that enough to get you moving?
