The project that I am on is requiring that I add a 1.5m wide bench on fills greater than 4m high.
I need to know if there is a way to bench fills and cuts for road networks and pads.
Thank you

I have used the bench feature for cuts with RoadNet fairly often. The setup looks to be the same for fills so it should work.
Start Design Template from Roads menu, click the button to edit your fill configuration and enter the slopes for the Left/Right side. For the first fill slope give a depth of 4m and in the top portion of the Fill Grades dialog turn on "Slopes in Series" and "Bench Between Fills" then set the width to 1.5m and the slope of the bench.
Hope that helps...
