I did see some time ago (may be in big blue) some one who painted the road on a kind of card board making it smaller at the end and than glued that card board strip / street strip on the layout AND about one inch high on the backdrop. That way was the street on the backdrop identical to the street on the foreground. The transition to the backdrop was a curve of the card board. At the end of the card board he continued the road on the backdrop with even more fading colors.
