Can a road be built through or past an opponent's settlement or city?

The road rules require a connection to your own pieces, and the Almanac example shows opponent settlements blocking a road.

No. A new road must join one of your own roads, settlements or cities. It cannot pass through an intersection holding another player's settlement or city, nor start from one; it can only run up to it and stop. Your own settlement never interrupts your road.
