How to make a good road layout?

[Kie413]

I'm finding it difficult to make a road layout that I feel looks good.
All the roads I place are messy.

Any suggestions on making good road layouts?
Thanks

I found that making roads that looks good require some practice. Try to start a new city with unlimited money and everything unlocked. Then just practice on making intersections and roundabouts. Try using all the different tools. Straight, curved etc with and without snapping. Get used to the tools and after some training you will make beatifull cities in no time.

While large road layouts need to be practised in city maps, I think a lot of what makes a good looking road is handling intersections and meetings of roads well both in terms of traffic handling and looks. You can practise that by messing around in the asset tools

I usually just go for function over form. Through it just takes practice to get them looking good. Something I have not perfected yet.

I do the same along with a bit of observing real cities and road layouts sometimes with the aim of making them better.

I always make off/onramps ugly but functional at first, just to see whats work. Then i redo them to make them pretty.
