Bug Description

Although oxen and other carry animals do properly align to roads when transporting wares, when they get back and there's nothing to do they all look in the same direction. This looks not so good IMHO.
Better would be to align them according to the slope of the current road.

Solving this would also help with visual
collisions with buildings that use the full extent of the footprint.

Well, the human workers are all looking in the same direction as well. However, they have more varied animations and I guess the oxen are easier to notice since they by nature are larger. Combined with having four legs they have some slight problems with aligning to the streets.

We probably want to look at how to improve this, like adding more variation/randomness in animal animations or tweak the alignment. I am not sure about getting them to look in different directions though, as that could end up looking "noisy".
