How to Make Roads on Hills Without Gaps?

[Mr Maison]

I'm building a highway system on a map with some rolling hills. I'm getting gaps between the road and terrain where the ground is not flat. What is the proper way to set roads so we don't get any gaps on hills? I also notice the terrain texture bleeding into the roads at some of these areas.

Have you tried making the highways using one-way roads to get a grid you can follow and then upgrade them to highways?

Edit: A must have mod is the Terraform tool. I only use it when i have to because it feels a bit like cheating. But you can use it to flatten the terrain.

maybe try drawing the highway that is on higher ground first. That usually helps for me. Also as Sn3ipen said, terraform tool is your friend.

Thanks for your replies. I got a great tip over at Simtropolis to use the terrain slope tool. I used the default one in the map editor. It works very well. See the thread for more info here http://community.simtropolis.com/topic/67247-how-to-properly-set-roads-without-gaps-on-hills/

And I will keep in mind to use the Terraform Tool for in-game situations. Thanks again.
