I think I was able to set attribute as one-way street but not the type
of road. But the type is not very important for me. If I want the
application take into consideration my roads, I add/insert a via to
these routes. All my roads createt by myself have the same type and
color. I was well surprised the application could prononce/spell the
name of the route I entered myself. I don't know if SA2005 allow you
to set the road type.
