Another method which may seem long winded at first  is to select the tjunction edge and the incomeing road edge in edit mode 'edge select' subdivide once.

Change to vertex select select the two new vertices and press 'F' on the keyboard, this will create a edge between thew two points.

select this edge and subdivide three or four times.


'Following excert from the Export a Spline from Giants Editor into Blender to Create Roads/Railways (Updated)'

Change to Object Mode, with the edge selected –Select , Object—Convert—Curve , this converts the mesh to a curve ready for use with the Curve Tools.

Select the Curve Icon in the Scene panel (green semi circle) to open the Curve Tools Panel

With the curve still selected change to Edit Mode

The new curve first needs to be aligned along the correct axis for the road, to do this you can either select

Control Points—Tilt and type 90 or simply (Ctrl ) -- T -- 90

In the Shape panel of the Curve Tools, select 3D, Fill Mode 'Half',  Curve Deform 'Radius Selected', all other settings can be left as is.

Open the Geometry and Bevel Tabs

Geometry Tab

 Extrude  ‘ 3 ‘        ---this equates to a road bed width of 6 metres , half the desired width or your roadbed width

Offset  ‘ 0 ‘            ---value can be left at 0 as this just raises or lowers the mesh by +-1m

Bevel Tab

Select   -- Profile

Depth   ‘ 2  ’           -- this figure is the width of the road edges in metres, in this case 2 for 2m

Resoloution – ‘ 0 ’ --This figure sets the number of subdivisions in the edge mesh should you wish to create

         your  own custom or preset profile.

You should now have a road mesh between the tJUnction and the incoming road that can be adjusted to suit your needs obviously further subdivision of sections of the roadbed may have to be done to create smoother curves.

Even quicker method,

Using your original image as a background

Two Edges selected

Ctrl 'E' to bring up the Edge Menu

Select -  'Bridge Edge Loops'

Adjust Number Of Cuts to suit -in this case 11
