Ye they are under GPL. I drew them from scratch so no issues with the original Roadset licensing.

Also, another bug. If a put build two pieces of shoulder in this formation: _ | The resulting hard shoulder is the the opposite way round to how it should be:

Fantastic! :D

About your bugs:

1) Is a known bug. It detects a neighbouring tile but cannot detect what orientation that has (I believe there's no variable "view of nearby tile") and therefore there need to be two tiles in the same direction for the code to know which way to draw the bend.
I currently have no idea how to best fix that. One way could be detecting nearby road, but that is also something I like to avoid as that has consequences for when there are two or more adjacent road tiles and you only want shoulder next to one.

2) Basically the same story as the previous, although this would probably be easier to fix.

3) Same as bug number two.

Thank you for visualizing those bugs like this; helps me understand what configurations go wrong more easily without having to try thousands of different layouts myself.

If somebody has ideas towards a solution for problem number 1, I'd be happy to hear that. You may keep solutions that involve detecting road tiles, as I already know that will work. I'm more interested in solutions that don't involve that. :)

Not really a bug, but this is kind of annoying, any ideas how to get around this?:

Demolish the buildings, buy the land and erect fences?

It *really* helps to describe something you find annoying a bit more detailed than "this" and a huge screenshot.

No, you cannot do anything against the trees.

Actually you can disable full detail in display menu.
But that also disables street lamps, railroad fences and may be some other features :(

Yes, that's true. But due to the side effects you also mention I don't quite consider that an acceptable solution :-) The solution here might also be 'road types'.

I guess that means disabling trees and streetlights with this set then. :(

It simply means: No highways through residential areas ;-)

Perhaps you could include a parameter option to either replace the trees with a blank sprite or possibly a small bush or something that would be covered by the 3rd lane / hard shoulder.

Again, just demolish the buildings next to the highway, buy up the land.

Great set, really having some fun with it.

The only thing i'm missing right now are start/end point of the hard shoulder (Going from narrow to normal size and back or something, can't clearly explain what I mean.)
