This mod changes the surface of some of the roads to a much smoother ride experience.
Problems:
Shadows: Car shadows doesn't work on these new roads. They flicker like crazy: I believe this is due to the fact that the road mesh isn't aligned with the R.shk. However if you drive in 1st person view  your fine.
Also, if your a photographer there are ways to make the shadow look normal, you just need to hit pause at the right moment.
Installation:
Extract to your TDU1 directory (same location of Euro file) Let it overwrite Area -2-4 contents.
