Working on roads/highway is so frustrating

There needs to have a grid mode in game, especially for the highway.

I do not want to do everything in asset tools AND it doesnt have an option to switch to left side drive.

Build things with right side drive - Game automatically flips them to left drive when you make a game with it toggled.

Roads do have snap-to-grid. Highways don't though. I wish they did. It is very difficult to make a good highway interchange when you have nothing to snap to.

My tentative solution has been too use one way streets for high ways and ramps (can upgrade these) and dirt roads as measuring tool. This works well enough though even making simple diamond interchanges take quite a bit of time.

It shouldn't be hard for the developer to implement a check box like what we already have for new game. Sometimes you need a intersection specifically tailored for the region/traffic and it is better to do it on the map itself.

Couldn't agree more but roads need an alternative griding system, current one are mostly useful for zoning.

My suggestion for the developers is to allow us to place temporary grid that can snap into the existing "zoning grid"

And please group those grid into 4x4.... i hate counting those grid and i have poor eyesight

Or... you know - Just build it right side drive and let the downloader decide for themselves.

Yeah same here. Also there is already One way -> Two way upgrade and one way direction changer mod. That helps a lot when working on roads.
