Day 2 of using CAW, so please excuse my newbness. I have placed several roads, however they are a tad bit curved and don't match up to the grid because they come from bridges onto the island. First I was wondering if I need to place sidewalks because there is a sidewalk-looking part of the road. Second, when I try to place sidewalks along the roads, they all end up looking ugly and leaving grass out all over the place. Fixing the angle just makes it look like the sidewalk is slipping under the road. Some help for the newbie would be much appreciated!

there is a tool in roads to smooth roads and paths out, look in the roads tab for grading road tool, in there is a smooth road tool, have a play around with it and you will get the hang of it, its quite easy to pick up, you just set the strenghth and width meaning how many tile squares extending the side of the road to be smoothed with the road, then press smooth road and click on the section of road you want to smooth out.
That method also works with paths too.
So sims can't walk on the side of the road if there's no sidewalk?
Okay wow this is why I'm a newbie lol
Thank you so much for your help! :-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of CAW.
Here is a great post~ http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/278761.page
Make sure to read the Tutorial. Helps a lot.
Also, Turn on the grid when placing roads. You can follow the lines while placing the roads.
Second, after placing a bridge with the grid on, turn the grid off and slide the bridge until it lines up and keeps the road straight if you need to.
