    I know objects aren't supposed to overlap but in most games you do get a little bit of it (like with tricky corners or between road segments.

    Normally the only visual artefact is a bit of flickering, but for some reason with Unity it lights up overlapping objects, is there a way of turning this off?

    This is an issue on Windows that is being fixed for 2.6. From the roadmap blog post:

    Vertex Shader based Vertex Lighting

    Currently Unity mixes the fixed function pipeline for vertex lit objects and vertex shaders for pixel lit lights. On Direct3D this creates some rendering artifacts on very close or self intersecting surfaces. We want to end this by implementing a full fixed function emulator in vertex shaders. You won’t have to do anything, it will just work!
