zwitschi 1b4b46e957 fix(site): slice the road too - the 2 m lid was a convex hull, not geometry
The road was never mis-modelled: a 279 m strip imports with ONE auto-generated convex hull, and a
convex hull's top is the strip's maximum height. A downward trace therefore landed at 366 cm - a flat
lid about 2 m above the visible road, which sits at roughly 152 cm there. That single fact explains
every failed sidewalk fix, the 'road above its own sidewalk' reading, and why the player always ended
up on Road_Hollywood.

Slicing the road the way the sidewalks already were fixes it, and the cross-section is now continuous:

  Terrain_DEM       154
  Sidewalk_North_07 158
  Road_Hollywood_07 158   (was 366)

Two changes had to land together: the road exported in slices, and the map stopped staging the single
Road_Hollywood asset - which still sat on top of the slices and won every trace until removed.

All 23 captures regenerated; the player and the car both stand on a continuous ground plane.

Why one file per object: terrain, road, sidewalks and kerbs want different
collision settings in Unreal, and a single combined mesh cannot carry that.
Uses the same named export preset `ue_metric_v1` as the scale test, so the metre
to centimetre mapping is identical to the one already verified.
