road are only needed when you are making a vehicle or tank move a great distance along them......as their route will 'snap' to the road

but nowadays I rarely use them in the FMB......just lay out the waypoints where i want.....vehicles will go through (under) forests without any problems

and so will trains...if you edit their WP in the notepad

also using notepad you can get boats to come right up to the beach....or have vehicles cross a river (where you have put a pontoon bridge beside a destroyed bridge ...for example)....or even pretend there is a shallow ford there
