1/8 Chain on 3/32 Chainring?

I was wondering if this was okay, and if there were any problems doing this. Thanks for any help

The chain needs to be compatible with the cassette or freewheel (unless single speed).

I'd like to know what road bikes use 1/8 chain on a cassette or freewheel that is not a SS or fixed.
