There is no such thing as road cantilever brakes.
There are normal cantilever brakes (short cable pull) or linear pull cantilever brakes (v style brakes, long cable pull).
Linear pull pull more cable at less force so if you want to run normal cantis you can use any short pull lever. Some brake levers for v brakes actually have two settings to allowing the use of either short or long pull brakes. Otherwise ther are plenty of short pull flat bar levers out there.
