There's a library for this, search for autojoin and other similar phrases in the resources.

If I remember correctly you do something like this:
//set start_loc to the other road obj
for(var/obj/Road/o in get_step(start_loc, EAST))//Looks for any road obj's to the right of the starting location(start_loc)
    o.icon_state = "whatever"


That's a simple way to check in one direction. I'll let you figure out the rest from here unless I get more time to write something up.
