How to merge these sections into one entire street.

I'm trying to figure out how to merge these sections into one and get rid of the red triangles. Trying to place down a traffic loft and these things screw it up, since it won't allow it to go all the way down the street.

Would like to be able to test the traffic loft on the older version of the route to see how it will look.


If we can't fix this, I don't see any possible way me and Mr. Bob will ever be able to put that new traffic loft on the Riverland Lines route.

Can you delete those short sections, and relay the road in all one section?

Not really, don't know why Bob put it out in short sections. Right now I'm trying to figure out a way to get the traffic loft to go past those in sections.

The reason that they are in short sections usually so the road can follow the contour of the Earth but I'm not sure why that affects the traffic since it's on a separate ribbon.

Is there another way to snap the traffic to the road without having to use the inset tool and the select tool, I think that's why those red triangles is affecting the ribbon.


Such as if I use that square select tool and then use the inset tool, choose several pieces of road, it cuts out all but 1 between those two red triangles, when yes, I would figure those shouldn't effect it since after fixing the road I could then use that tool to select a good bit of road.


Easiest answer would probably be to somehow join the pieces of road back together and get rid of the red triangles, could do it the hard way, but then the loft doesn't want to automatically snap to the road and ends up flying into the air because of the slope of the terrain.

If the traffic ribbon is a separate loft - just lay it independently over - drag it out as long as you need. They just need to be close, not exact.
