If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to drive a car along a road like you can drive a train along tracks? This issue has been raised before and the simple answer, which you will not like, is that the program is called "Trainz" not "Carz".
It is possible to convert a static object to a train vehicle and place it onto tracks, visible or invisible, and drive it manually. This has been done, sometimes for amusement - for example a cow on wheels, but more often for practical reasons - examples include boats moving around a harbour, aircraft taxing and flying and even a human shunter who moves around a yard to throw switches.
It would be possible to create a track spline that looks just like a road and make track signals that look and work like traffic lights but I suspect that few, if any, Trainz creators would be interested in doing this because their main interest in this simulator is trains. You could always do this yourself if no-one else is interested.

Someone did make "track/roads" awhile ago and a bunch of creators at the time made some drivable carz. There as a thread about this in the old forums which went on for pages. There was even thoughts of using invisible speed limits to have traffic at various speeds in different lanes.
It got better because this lead to the development of silent engines and track sounds because it was weird that carz sounded like trains and made track clunking sounds as they crossed junctions along with silent and invisible junction levers. I think it was during the latter days of TRS2004 when this occurred. The fun old times.

Ah, No. That's not what I mean. I wanted the option to setup cars just driving around. Where it looks busy, or even cars and trucks driving down a dirt road. pulling in to a drive and parking. or a truck that can pull into a factory and back up to a dock.
No. I don't mean that WE CAN Drive them. I mean when I go down a track. It would be nice to see some kind of roads that work. People going to work. a fire truck going down the street to a fire. The police pull some one over. Get the idea. This can be setup by the player. It add more realizm to the game. Just driving a train around can and will get boring after a while.
This can be done too, to a certain extent. Backing in and out of parking spaces would be done using an invisible path and some tricks...
When creating a new route, there is no traffic in the default region. To have traffic, you need to change the region to something such as USA or whatever it's called. Dave Snow put up a nice USA region on the DLS. It's really tiny - like 300K if that in size. This region has ambulances, fire trucks, various cars, UPS trucks and so on.
To adjust an already created route, you edit the session and environment on built-in routes and edit the session information on your own routes. This is located under the Main menu.

John. I don't seem to be able to find it. I tried roads/track and track/roads. I get a lot of results. Nothing like what you said there would be. Do you have a name of who made it. Or even a full name for this. Is this content related or some thing else.
If you mean the region selection, that is found in Main Menu --> Edit Route.
