Something I think that would be cool is if there was an option in build mode (perhaps in the improvement updates for build mode), there's an option to connect your plot to the road.

For e.g.
You choose where (can be single or multiple connections), then place it. It connects your plot to from a specific point to the road (it should probably only be allowed to be placed at max 4 grid squares away from the road).

You can customize the texture, and the colour, allowing players to have their plot connected to the road their way.

You shouldn't be able to really place anything on it, and it should connect smoothly.

You can scale it however you want, allowing for more flexibility of this feature.

This would be better instead of having to use carpets to connect our plots to the road.
