The first topic I want to talk about is replacing roads with the NAM's Rural Highway Mod.
Roads are the old throughfares for your cities, and the avenues generally replace the roads.
Instead, use the Rural highway mod whenever possible, because you can:
1. Create Rural Highways (duh)
2. Make 5-lane one-way streets (kinda' replaces the 2 lanes of the one-way road that comes with the game)
3. Make 2 way throughfares (or as they say in the UK and New Zealand [sometimes]), dual carriageway.
4. Make motorways and highways wider than the motorways and highways that go through Spaghetti Junction, Auckland (mamma mia!).
5. Make 3-lane boulevards through your cities.
6. Replace your roads with 2 lane Rural Highway mod (looks better, but does not have traffic lights, but to fix that, just download the fake traffic lights off the STEX, LEX or whatever).
To make a 2 lane, 2 way road, just use the no monthly cost tool, found in the highway menu. Just drag like a normal road, and it will, well, turn into a road.
To make a 2 lane, one way road, if it be a dual carriageway or just a better looking one-way road, use the 2 Lane Starter Piece
in the direction you want
To make a 3 Lane highway, just place 2 starter pieces parallel to each other, and drag using the tool.
Do the same for the rest.
But to make a 5-lane one-way road, just place the starter piece in the direction you want and drag the tool from the starter piece.
Voila, the some what perfect roading system

Next topic, why put rails in your roads? .
And one more thing, I forgot to mention that you can comment about this. No harsh comments, else you may get it one day. Maybe on the 21st - 23rd December 2012, allegedly the days of the so-called apocalypse.
If you survive that one (if if even comes), you may have
a. Rectal leakage
b. Mutated body parts
c. No brain, coz' you ate it, because you are a zombie
d. a huge concrete and lead shell over your head to protect you from radiation and gamma rays.
OK, thats it for this topic
