Hmm, its actually starting to look rather decent.

I'd still not use those paving textures for most of the map.

If you look at the Google Streetview comparison, you can see that the paving has a mixture of grass verges, asphalt and paving slabs. Although you won't be able to get it 100% accurate (nothing is in any simulation), I think if you used iomex's "low" paving splines to form the basic paving layout for this area, it would make it look far better.

What I would do is:
-switch the relevant splines over to the one suggested above
-use a "grass traffic island" spline from the spline pack to form the various grass verges
-to finish it off, I'd use iomex's flora pack to create the little details for the grass and flower beds.

I had a similar stretch of road which is kind of like this in Denmark Hill. If you look at my latest screenshot in the General Screenshots thread, you should be able to see how I laid it out.

I'm always happy to offer advice if ever needed. Keep up the great work! :)

Looking really good.

What you might want to do to improve is try to add more realistic gradients, because some of the screenshots you have posted look flat compared to real life. Moreover, use a wider variety of trees and buildings. Some of them don't suit the area too well. So it might be best to start looking at additional buildings that are available from sites such as OMSI-Webdisk/Official forums and OMSI polish forums. Apart from that keep up the good work.
 
I'm helping @junaidstarz with this map, we have been trying to vary things from area to area however didn't want to steam ahead too much with too many different objects and splines for people to have to install etc. Thank you for your advice and we shall take it on board of course!
