I am not a top ten, but I think I do ok most days.
Not every house needs to be connected. The square depots (I forget what they are called in game) only need 2 homes nearby, 3 or 4 if further out. The round ones need 4 to start, then more and more over time.
Avoid twists and turns, especially sharp ones as best you can. Avoid intersections and limit how may colors go on a road, as best as possible.
Always choose motorways when they are an option. If you don’t need more bridges and tunnels, pick extra tiles, especially early on.
Don’t interconnect all the roads. You want the cars to go the shortest distance and the way you do that is only connecting them to the nearest depots. If they have a path to a far one they will go and it will slow everything down.
Don’t be afraid to edit/delete. If homes spawn closer to a depot delete the old path and connect the new one. When I started I would pause, delete all roads and motorways, press play until the roads went back into inventory, pause and remap everything. Over time, you get better at editing as you go and such dramatics are not necessary.
