Using rattle cans, first was a two coats of a grey primer. When dry, a light misting of flat black from about three feet away, then another very light mist of the grey primer from a distance. Last coat was a flat ivory from four feet moving the can fast, gives a bit of a wreathed or older road look. Yellow lines is striping tape. Will use pastel chalk powder to gently brush on the center of the lanes and a grey brown mix for the edges. Road is removable to finish up the river.
In this picture there seems to be a reddish hue, after posting this pic, I had to take another look, there is no red hue in the road color.

The road befor was flat grey primer with a misting of ivory which showed up very light for the camera and I think looked better in the room, however a bit of light black mist darkened it up giveng to me a better contrast, its almost to dark for the scene. Its fun to experiment and try different things.
