I currently work for a D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) and we use Microstation. Microstation has many benefits to it. There is a support community that is really great. All the D.O.T. or at least most of them have cell libraries and other design details already drawn. Some even have EXE...
If you are using Geopak, then you can use cogo to do a best fit under the tools menu.
See what that does. Our department does not use spirals anymore. We use normal curves and a program called GPK Tangent.
