Don't use the "object" fire. Use fx markers.

Lol  :D  I was just thinking to myself today that maybe I should post a link to the action markers tutorial.   It seems I'm a bit late.  :)

Which kind of environment is the road supposed to cross?

Ok then, second question. Are these roads main roads or just small ones?
In the end it's up to you man, you have the whole variety of splines.. ;)

Rural main: road_asphalt\rural_highway (width=8)
Urban main: stone_road\bia_urban_road_02 (width=16)

You can add some variation though using different kind of splines and splats and also tiles combined with each other.

Concerning your bridge problem I'd like to see a screenshot.
