How do I lay roads?
First of all, you must open the Road construction toolbar - click the Road construction button 
on the menu bar:
There are two ways you can lay roads:
- Using 2 directioned road section buttons.
- Using Autoroad tool.
Building selected direction sections
Click on one of the road building buttons 
. The example uses the 1st button.
Placing roads
- Move the cursor over the tile you want to start your road on.
Laying a new road - Drag the cursor to where you want your road to end.
Laying a new road - Release the mouse button and your new road will appear.
Your new road
- Note that this works with half-tile precision. If you e.g. click in the right half of a tile and then drag to the right the road will start with a half tile. The same applies for the end tile.
