    weird dashes

    My dashes are curved instead of straight. After masking they have points at the end. I have no clue where the error stems from

      Hard to say what the exact problem is without seeing the nodes, but my first reaction is that the inputs going into the X and Y sockets to the Combine XYZ node to create the UV map are flipped.

      alas that wasn't it, but I found out that flipping the combine xyz node makes the pavers look a lot nicer, lol

      I've uploaded my file to google drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AvFZJtStBNgtgluLBUI7iGd2K4J0sd0h/view?usp=drive_link

      Found the problem! Inside your lane markings group, after you've joined the cyclical and straight lanes together and convert them to a mesh, you've got the Curve Line node that's providing a "Profile" to skin the curves. You have a value of 1 in the Z axis at the end. This is skewing your profile and making it a bit funky, causing the issue. Get rid of that 1, set it to 0 and it works fine.
