Start off using 2 lane one way roads to connect to your highway. 4 lane roads don't seem to be very efficient because every intersection they form has lights and 6 lane roads are extremely expensive.

Build your industrial slightly away from any residential. In my current city I am looking at relocating it to the opposite side of the highway to clear up congestion.

This is a big one. Open your services menu and turn power & water down to 50% until your city requires more. I've noticed this chews up my money quickly at the start if it stays at 100%.
