It can be done, it just isn't a stock feature. Do a search for procedural road object. Will take some work though since the original poster was asking for help.

It is very strange to compare a programming language oriented towards graphical/game development (DarkBasic) to a game engine (Torque). You will have to program your procedural road generation (or purchase a pack which someone else has programmed the feature for you) in DB. You will also have to program this in TGE, though the language will be different as will the engine hooks. DB is a nice programming language (though I prefer the Blitz syntax), but you have to program your engine from the ground-up according to the features for your game. It is not a "game engine" per se, but it definitely makes developing your own engine easier with its functionality.

But a 1:1 comparison just isn't feasible.
