Google Maps obviously knows where the roads are -- the question is can you get that data?
You can get the route polyline from directions output, but otherwise I don't think there is anyway to get road data. What exactly are you trying to do? If your map is always highlighting the same routes, you could just get that data are store it. If you're looking at trying something more dynamic, you'll probably have to be a little creative.
