How to make realistic roads?
You can buy ready-made roads which are ideal if you do not have the time to create your own. They are available in most scales and with all the features you might need like markings, potholes, etc.
Alternatively, you can make your own with road paint and decals with road markings which will allow you to create the perfect road. Make sure to stude the real thing to get the shade of paint right.
You can also get asphalt card which can be cut to size for your needs, and again using road marking decals gives you the ability to replicate any section of road that you choose.
