My goodness moldelers must have a lot of diposable cash! Buy roads?! Single ply card board, card stock, etc. can be cut to any cofiguration, even along and inside tracks, glued to any surface with virtually any type of glue, painted with any type of paint (I prefer latex) and marked with pencil crayons, giving a very subtle weathered look. Of course you can go with bold colours for a new look. Paint it concete or asphalt. Have fun with the diffent variations. Make sure to include details such as oil streaks down the centres of both lanes, adding more near stop signs or where traffic congests. As far as measurements, a lot of the guy's gave some good info. But go a bit smaller, the effect will be more pleasing. The best resource is to look at some colour pictures taken from the air, it's amazing what you miss on the ground. And one last thing, as far as the cardboard, the price is right, it's usually free!
