Snap To Road will give you the nearest point on the road (if possible).
Calculate the distance from the click point to the point on the road, and if this is less than some threshold, the user has clicked on the road.

So with this "SnapToRoads" feature, can I detect if the user places a marker on the road?

Hi.

The easiest way to do this is the Google Road API:

Alternatively, you can use Vector Tiles or OSM Overpass API to check the road. But these ways are much harder to implement.
