Possibly, the "color tracking" method of keeping on roads would still work if the game took a large enough sample of nearby pixels, or if a particular color of pixels was reserved for roads. In the latter case, the "road line" could be a line just 1 pixel wide, invisible to the human eye in most cases. The former solution would require more processing power, the latter would require a lot of reworking for roads and railroads.

This would work as well, possibly better.

Hopefully, someone from DT is reading this!
