Also backscratch:
Everything looks nicely detailed but i dont realy get the hole in the middle, its like that piece of road never got made but did get nice sharp edges. It should be a bit more round pit and not a square.

I still don't like the way that hole looks. Like the roadway is a design drawn on cake and you've cut an area of cake out. The gutters definitely look wrong.

Been working on a 2-popint A/D map, here is my current last point:
Building your map in a box like that's never a very good idea, it just seems to get in the way (and it sorta forces you to build around the flatness it provides).

What berry said is totally true.
You also want to keep in mind that you aren't building a map, you're building an environment. Do you know of any environments that are that flat and look like that?
The only reason it is in a box is so that I can run it when I am testing technical stuff. Wont be like that when I publish it.
I'll do my best.
The goal of a level designer is to create levels that emulate the environment set by the game. If the game you are designing for has a lot of rounded corners and ups and downs, it's going to be really weird if you make a map that is kind of flat and square corners. The square corner map might play really well, but it's not a good map for the game because it doesn't fit the environment of the rounded-circle/hilly map.
For TF2, you're emulating realistic environments. Things that we could see almost picture in the real world. I'm sure you've walked around somewhere and have gone "Huh, this would look really cool in TF2" (Just me? nevermind :c) ... thats the environment part of mapping.
Maybe that helps?
I don't know about thinking X would look good within the game, but I've found myself thinking certain roofs would be annoying to clip or complaining to myself about real life sightlines.
