How to UV map a curve surface easily?

Hi folks, I need help!

 

I want to apply a texture to a road, this texture has detail lines so I need to find a way to map it correctly so the texture will follow the geometry curves, the geometry is plane and very simple, but going manually isnt helping because certain paths are too angled 

 

Thanks in advance,

Use Unitize and then Legacy unfold .Roads are quite easy to UV map.

ZooTools does have a great script to unfold such stuff.
