I have been asking for a tool to put down our own zoning squares for months now. I asked during the AMA on reddit but no answer.

I wish you could tell the game which road to prioritize when picking zone tiles. I assume you want each long road to have the best tile placements. If you could - I don't know - alt-click a road or something and have it grab up every available non-zoned tile it can, that would solve most of the problems.
Something like that would be grate. For now the only work around is to use highway ramps. They can even be crossed by cims without there being crosswalks.
you could try the Toggle Zoning mod, it can be useful in certain circumstances. In the case above from the OP if you follow the guides exactly with junctions at 90 degrees the zones do line up and you do get continuous zones, only 4 deep of course but that does work.
You can put electricity lines there 
But in all seriousness, I wish it was more like Simcity 4 style zoning, where you could just drag and the roads would be automatically generated for you.

Why is the zoning funky to begin with? Is it a terrain issue or the roads aren't perfectly straight or a combo of the two?
With this example, the zoning would probably be more even if the two horizontal roads were a little closer together since there's only room for 4 zone squares deep. Unless the player is trying to leave room for avenues later.

Leaving option for avenues later. You can see north of these plots the squares all match up fine.
misalignment can be the result of uneven terrain but on flat terrain they will match exactly with roads at 90 degrees
