Road Structure is important even at the beginning. If your entrance into your city from the highway is basic and small, eventually the entrance, exit, and the highway will be clogged from outside and inside traffic. In the beginning, use a roundabout to evenly dispute traffic.

The Cities Skylines tips are: Have a Proper Road Structure. Have more than one entrance to your sections/districts. Have a Proper Public Transportation Structure. Do not put public stops too close to intersections. Increase land value to earn more money. Use the policies correctly. Cities: Skylines is an incredibly detailed city-building simulator with an incredible modding community. While the base game has a lot to offer, experienced players might want to elevate the level of detail in their cities or even add more content.

In fact, it is generally a good idea to use roundabouts in areas that have busier traffic, mainly busy junctions. Roundabouts generally allow traffic to flow better than the basic junctions. However, sometimes, basic roundabouts are not enough but you can add dual entry and exit points to improve the flow, and do not forget to make the roundabout the priority road.
If you need proof that roundabouts do work, check out Biffa’s YouTube video where he replaces every junction in a city with roundabouts.
Also, make sure your intersections are not too close to another. If they are, it will slow down traffic. Think about it, do you like having to go through a traffic light after waiting for 5 minutes, just to be stopped at another one 30 seconds later? Your citizens don’t either and it clogs traffic.
A great way to avoid this, besides using roundabouts, is not building with the grid. Shapes like squares and rectangles tend to have more intersections. Using irregular shapes when placing roads will make the town look more appealing with fewer traffic problems.
