	The large road straight parameter is used to measure if waterways are perpendicular to each other. It is measured by extending the placed water connection by x meters and if it is still in a waterway or body, then it is perpendicular and accepted. For parallel waterways, this check will not create a water connection when the defined x is sufficiently large.
