Does an opponent's settlement break your road, and can you break theirs?

The Longest Road section states that a settlement breaks an opponent's road, and the posts confirm buildings break roads.

Yes, both ways. An opponent's settlement or city breaks your road at that intersection, so the parts count separately for Longest Road. A settlement placed on an empty intersection along an opponent's road breaks it, while a road cannot be cut by building another road across it. Roads never break roads.
