How do I keep the Resources overlay open while placing roads?

Question

Is there a way to keep the resources overlay open when placing roads? I want to put highways around high-resource areas, or join them together sometimes, but every time I select the road tool it switches out of the resources overlay.

Not with the current base game.

With this mod you should be able to keep resource views toggled on while placing roads.

Note that enabling mods will disable your ability to get achievements. (Although this mod may re-enable your ability to complete achievements)
