Some more, creating a cross-section (or pattern) and then snaking it along a path (via Extensions->Pattern From Path):

I want to be able to create paths that can take the cross-sections easily. Like the below. I want to be able to set up the paths just right, so that when I set up each of the cross-sections, for the main road, when the road exists, the cloverleaf, everything. Here is an example interchange I wanted to work on:

But this task is proving more daunting than I had thought, because I am so clumsy with drawing the paths, and of course the paths will need to be the correct distance from each other, so that when, say, the cloverleaf connects with the freeway, it doesn't look all jacked up.

Cool - there has to be a market for roadway engineering layout software (I'm an engineer). You might be on to something here.
