I realize that the road type is just eye candy but "knowing" will make me enjoy the game more.
If you actually hovered the mouse over one you would see it reported as a "Secondary Road". Not Earth , gravel, Land Rover track etc.

Roads all have infinite number of lanes in the SP universe, subject only to stacking costs. That is why there is no reportage of the number of lanes, and no mention of the subject anywhere at all.

I know they are termed "Secondary Roads", trust me I own a mouse. I was simply asking if inside the SP universe they are considered hard surfaced. If they are hard surfaced why is the graphic "dirt".
