Hullo chaps,

I'm in the middle of quite a large lot of BATs and Lots to recreate my home town. Trying to conform the town layout to a grid, when it's made up of lots of windy roads and odd little junctions, is a bit of an intellectual chore, but I'm doing fairly well so far.

However, one junction in particular is giving me a headache:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=horncastle&hl=en&ll=53.208819,-0.114806&spn=0.001218,0.002207&sll=52.477837,-1.892902&sspn=0.078833,0.141277&t=k&hnear=Horncastle,+Lincolnshire,+United+Kingdom&z=19

I've converted it down as far as I can as seen in this shot:



Unfortunately in order to destroy traffic lights (which are rarer in real life than in the game) I've decided to just bugger it and make a transit-enabled lot to cover the junction, a one-off piece. Here's what I've got so far:



I don't think I'm going to be able to replicate or match the in-game road textures, however, to conform to this layout, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help by photoshopping up a quick copy of the road layout in the european roads style. Part of the issue is that I can't find any image files for the european road textures!

The rough texture file I'm using so far is here:

Can anyone offer help/suggestions/mad photoshop skillz? Ta much!
