Changing road types

As far as I can tell there isn't any reference to the road texture in the individual lot packages, only the ground texture.
I see a Road Texture (RTEX) with Type = 0xACE46235:

[Update:]
I just found another place where the terrain type is stored in the neighborhood package. I have no idea why, but it's stored in the NGBH (Neighborhood/Memory) record. The terrain type in the NGBH for Elsewhere is Desert, so this could be the problem.
Unfortunately, the terrain type in that record doesn't display in the plugin view, so you'd have to edit it in hex:
http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=NGBH
Since "Concrete" has more letters than "Desert", you would also have to change the length of the terrain string and insert characters in the correct location.
[Another Update:]
I tested this and confirmed that changing the terrain type in the NGBH record will change the terrain underneath the road (and between the road and the sidewalk). However, I doubt that you want to change the terrain to Concrete since that clashes fairly badly with the actual terrain of Elsewhere, which is sand because of the low elevation. I also tried Dirt, but it is also substantially darker than the sand. I suspect that plasticbox chose Desert because it was the closest match to the actual sand terrain.
If you'd like, I can share those two versions of the NGBH with you.

Oh please do, I'm staying at my parents house for the coming week, but when I get back I'd like to experiment futher with this.
I don't think the clash will be worse than what I've got going on now. As long as I can get the concrete roads back, I don't mind repainting the bit between the road and the sidewalk with terrain paint to match the 'beach' texture.
Mootilda:
OK. Here is a zip file with 3 folders: Dirt, Desert, and Concrete. Backup your neighborhood first, just in case you don't like the results. Unzip the one that you want and use SimPE to replace the existing NGBH with the one that you selected.

*baaaah*

I'm afraid that's not very informative. Perhaps if you included some pictures which would show us exactly what you want changed, it would help.
