How To Use 

Youtube tutorial.

Create a RoadSegment.
Place the segment at the desired position.
By default, RoadSegment prefab contains RoadSegmentCreator component.
Select the Road segment type depending on the shape of your intersection.
- Standard shape used for the most common shapes (T-cross, X-cross & etc).
- Custom segment used for intersection with custom shape.
- Custom straight used on straight roads with curves or long straight roads.
In the other tab, you can convert any Standard shape segment to a Custom segment for more flexibility (also check out the new Auto-Crossroads feature for automatic crossroad generation).
Adjust general settings.
Adjust custom settings.
Customize light settings.
Customize path settings.
Add RoadSegment to the RoadParent as children.
