Try using the new concrete blocks. They look great for things like roads and city buildings. I'd use black or gray concrete with yellow or white striped lines.
You can look up tutorials on how to do realistic roads, but if that's too much work, what I do is add a yellow striped on each edge, with a dashed white line down the middle.
also, make sure your sidewalks are higher than the road, that makes it look a lot better
For my roads, I do a 5 wide road. I use black concrete and gold blocks. I use stone slabs on top of the ground for sidewalks; the gold and concrete are down one block, dig a one block deep hole and replace with concrete/gold but put sidewalks on top of block.
I found that using gray colored beds for the sidewalks look great and the pillow part looks like a curb. The road itself would work great with concrete!

Thats actually a kind of smart. I will test it out soon!
Hi there! Are you looking for the modern type of roads in cities? Or the old medieval ones you would come across in villagers?
Just some tips I use to improve my roads:
Modern:
- Add a sidewalk
- Try working with different blocks than always black, such as gray with white lines or pink with white lines. The use of different colors can make a big difference
- Add modern streetlights at the sides or at the middle of the road.
- You could place iron bars at the sides to act as a guardrail
Medieval:
- Mixture different blocks in one road, some different blocks I like to use are: Gravel, Cobblestone, (stairs - slabs) and Andesite or the Path blocks, Podzol and Coarse dirt
- Like said in the tip before mix in some stairs and slabs to make it look like the path is old and cracking a bit.
- Add medieval streetlights every now and than.
- Don't let it go straight, make it go from the right to the left. As long as it curves alot.
- If you are making a town that has been overgrown add some leaves on the sides of the road every now and then).
This were the things I could come up with for now. Hoping they are helpful!

I try to use blocks to vary the roads but they end up looking out of place. Cyan terracotta and stone does look nice though.
Any ideas? I want them to be more than just coal blocks with a black line in the middle.

Add some variation in the street with random gray blocks and mabey cracked stone blocks and some black blocks as pot holes 😕
