Roads in UE4 without Landscape splines

The question really is in the topic. I’m curious if there is a more optimized way of creating roads in UE4?

Right now I am creating roads using landscape splines however, over time, my performance in the editor has declined with the more splines I add. (I am adding road meshes to the splines)

I’m open to whichever way I can stop using landscape splines for roads. I’ve heard of using texture maps, making all the roads in Maya, and then exporting all of them as a single mesh.

Any help would be appreciated!

One of the advantages of the splines is the way they hug the ground. If you don’t need that then,…
