Has someone made a mod/is there some way to make a mod that would allow laying out roads in the terrain editor?

Or anything else that can be used to build a road-like grid (both highways, highway exits and railroad insist on bending and going in curves, which make sense but mean there is no tool for drawing effective straight lines in the editor.

Would be useful when trying to touch up a real world map to make sure to get the specific features you want in the specific spots you want)
 
I would like to see this as well. I use the dirt road for making temporary grids and they will connect to the Highway and railroad tracks at 90 degrees.
 
I just used the highways and ramps for road testing my map in the editor, if you want some features added you might want to try a mod request here in the forums or over at http://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylinesModding You could also try asking someone in the IRC Modders channel
#skylines-modders @ irc.esper.net

Actually I just checked the editor now,
You sure you don't have the curve tool checkbox enabled on the left side of the screens bottom bar?
 
They can go straight, of course, but I can't seem to get them to do right-angle meetings (even with the straight line tool and snap to grid)
