I don't have any freeways running through my cities, and I've heard not to bother with medium size roads because they just create traffic lights and therefore traffic problems.
What I've been doing is creating interchanges from the existing highways and then feed them into traffic circles. Kinda like this: O#O with the "#" being a cloverleaf or something else. As long as I avoid intersections too close to the circle on the 6 lane roads branching off of them, traffic seems to flow pretty good.

I'm only at about 70k population so I can't say if it'll work long term but so far so good.
