You have to attach the transform shader to an extra surface layer, like here.

What do you mean? Your sentence is incomplete. If you want to have a proper path (level), you'd be better off getting my preset from NWDA, although that doesn't work properly on a heightfield, only on fractal terrains.

Sorry fingers mistyped. I was asking which node I should keep, the one attached to the transform shader or the other one highlighted on the right.your suggestion  go getting your road pack sounds good for learning SSS roads. Thanks again for your time and help

The transform shader is the final mask, you can use that as a blender for anything you want with that warped line. I attached it to the last surface shader, but now I see you have a loose path surface shader. But that is quite the same to use.
