So if we look at the posted screenshot, we have Thornton Street, which wraps around in a very weird way. Logistically, it would be a nightmare to navigate a road that intersects another road at two different locations.

I've tried deleting a segment of Thornton to brute force the road changing to prevent that wrap-around, and it results in the wrap around showing up in a different location and if I restore that deleted segment, it reverts Thornton to how it originally was. It's like this in other locations as well.

I would love to see a tool that would allow us to determine where a road ends and a new one begins to fix this issue.

That makes the usage statistics useless if the road is shaped like that too

I didn't even think about that.

Maybe a simple solution before we have an editor is to cut a road that turns more than 90° in an intersection, and some sort of formula to cut it and start a new street after the intersection if the next section is more than 110° (?) off the initial section where the road starts.

This would be helpful even with an editor, so we avoid the need to manually edit every road.

CS1 was the same way except you could manually edit. I find it's only a few roads that get marked like this

this is so easy to script.

The games been out for less than two days. It takes a long time to code things and actually figure out how to code them to do what you want

im a dev myself and this looks like a piece of cake to script

sometimes the simplest things are the hardest, besides on the huge list of things that need fixing, I doubt this is a high priority. Also they probably want to release on big patch rather than a million little ones for each little tweak
