I wouldn't stretch the vertices of the terrain that much, it might look low quality. You may also want to put a "test" model on the road, to see if it's a good width.

You'll probably also want to alpha blend the terrain, so it isn't a sudden change from dirt to grass. http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-122.html This tutorial is for Call of Duty, but the basics of it are the same. The main difference is that the overlaying texture will have "dec" or "decal" in the name.

Also, right clicking on the 3D will let you select which texture you want to select, which is good when you've already alpha blended.

Edit: Looking at the screen shot again, it looks like you're using the decal textures instead of the "base" textures. You won't be able to see the decal textures in-game if they aren't on a "base" texture IIRC, they also won't have any clipping.
