First Piece: 6-way Highway Distributor Queue

Description
Use this intersection as a first piece in your (achievements-enabled) game to effectively distribute traffic to 6 different roads.

Usage in-game:
1. Immediately place any short road piece (anywhere) just to enable more road pieces.
2. Place this intersection near your highway on/off ramps with the wide one-way streets lined up toward the highway.
3. Connect the 6-lane one-way roads to the interstate highway with additional 6-lane one-way pieces as needed.

Important things to note:
* Dirt roads mark the 6 available slots for road access. Use any road in their place.
* This might be relatively expensive as an early move in the game when money is tight.
* Traffic **cannot** travel across this intersection from one dirt road to another. Later in the game, overpasses or underpasses around this intersection might be helpful for traffic that needs to cross this part of the map. (One exception is that travel is permitted in one direction only between each pair of dirt roads that shares an access channel.)

Extending the usage / improving capacity:
* Lengthen the queues (all the one way roads) to allow more queueing capacity in each direction (or just certain directions as needed). The queues are initially set to have equal lengths for **entering** the highway as this direction of travel requires stop-lights whereas exiting does not. Exiting queues can also fill up however, especially if city traffic is heavy near a particular exit point.
* Replace the 3 queue end-points with round-abouts. In order to do this you either need to use an opposite-direction round-about (i.e. clock-wise travel on a right-hand traffic map) OR you can replace the connecting one-way road piece at the end of each distribution channel (each pair of 2-lane one-way roads) to point in the opposite direction.
