They're a very thin foam-like material (0.6mm they claim).
Straightforward to cut when on the backing material, but very sticky and
you have to place them right first time - if you try to peel it off then
it stretches / distorts and you've had it. However, I've been able to
lay straight sections pretty easily. It's supposed to be flexible enough
to allow it to follow gentle curves, which I haven't tried yet but am
prepared to believe.
Just thinking about it, I have a single pack of a narrower road which
must be, as The Beast pointed out, the N gauge stuff

and there's also Z gauge which is only 32mm wide.
