In some cases it'll line up with the texture and the buildings, in other cases it'll cross the standard village streets at a 45-degree angle.
That's just how it is. If we had to place every building on a map manually, even a small 40x40 km online map would take years to make.

you could have splines attaching points to the building areas (crossroads where external roads are linking with town's important ones), internal building areas splines for the navigation between the buildings, and spawn the building areas rotated so that the splies re going into the attaching points.
