Road tutorial - Blending and using in different purposes
1. Making normal road(road size)
Now, i saw many roads on maps that are bigger than airfield runway. I personally don't like it but, 100 people, 100 tastes  This is how to make "normal" road First, place road
 Then i place two trucks one near other...that's two way road, nice to have it.
2. Fading road First, place a road. Take a look of red dots for road placement, place them like i did.
Now click and set it up (or click Enter button) .You'll have this:
Road opacity should be 100% by default. However, if you have changed it during mapping, go to the Roads tab in Map Editor and set opacity to 100%.
Select "Single point" in the menu on your left, above the road types. Now, right mouse button click and hold on yellow dots, i marked them, left or right, doesn't matter.
Now, move your mouse (while still holding right button) down. You will see effect like this:
You have one part of the road fading away. Next is to place another road, different type next to it and place it but this time we will place dot nmb. 5 on the opposite side. Make it fade just like you did on dirt road, by pressing and holding right mouse button on the yellow circle and moving mouse toward you.
Now, select "All points" on your menu to the left, above the road types. Left click on any red dot of asphalt road and pull it toward dirt road and place it there like this
Voilla, you have two roads linked real nice... Now it's all up to your creativity. 
3. Making different uses for roads Now, you have also some different purposes for roads, first let's make it on trench. Place a trench and paint around it with "Dark ground texture like i did Now, use "Road_path" type of road ( make sure Opacity is 80% or higher) and place dots like i did
Now set the road and let's finalize it. You will get this:
Now, set up "All points" and left click and hold on any yellow points. Move mouse toward you and you will see road is widening. You will get something like this:
You have entrenchment with nice ground around it. Someone will like it, some not. It's up to your creativity to edit it and make it look better.
