Connecting to the Initial Highway?

[Princess Celestia (Universae)]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the game and while i've been playing for a few hours I'm never happy with how I start my game connecting to the Initial Motorway. (The two three lane one ways)

I was wondering if anyone could share how they go about this? (No Mods etc. Just a Vanilla new game)

At the moment I Narrow them both with a section of one way two lanes, then join them with a 4 lane two way road perpendicular to the Motorway...

Thanks XD

That's about what I do. Here's a typical start for me:

I know roundabouts are preferred by many. My cities never grow too large (I usually stop around 50,000) so the junction above never gets clogged up.

And here's what that start grew into:

A simple roundabout works fine for the beginning. Remove and expand the connection once your city is bigger. Never hesitate to rebuild parts of your infrastructure. In most cases it will be better. And don't forget a second highway connection.

Checkout 'Imperial Jedi' on Youtube. He has a way of starting that served me well when I was a newbie and to this day, I still use it until I have the funds to replace it.

This is one of the simplest converting to two way street, but if it is handling volume the keeping them separate might be the way to go.
This clip is the connection between the two highways on River Run. The start point, I foolishly connected the two highways then needed to figure out how to deal with the volume.
