Is there a way to keep the resources overlay open when placing roads? I want to put highways around high-resource areas, or join them together sometimes, but every time I select the road tool it switches out of the resources overlay.

In the case of upgrading the size of the road, you can use the "!" button next to your road shape tools (straight, curved, etc).
Unfortunately, this only works on size, at least for now. Due to the fact that you can only decide the direction of a one way road by dragging it, you still have to delete and rebuild a road you want to change to one way. You can also edit the direction of one way roads with this tool, by right-clicking on the one you want to invert.
Note also that this WILL bulldoze buildings that were in the way of the size expansion, and that you'll have to manually move plopped buildings placed along the side of the road you're upgrading or you'll get a "space already occupied" error.
Edit: in this ever changing world in which we're living, CO has added official support for one to two way road conversions and reversing the direction of a one way road. From the 1.0.6b patch notes: road upgrade tool now works between two-way and one-way roads and right mouse-button changes direction of one-way roads

Your best bet may be to look for the tiny arrows near intersections. It really does pay to zoom in a little and it depends on how good your eyes are.

Not with the current base game.
With this mod you should be able to keep resource views toggled on while placing roads.
Note that enabling mods will disable your ability to get achievements. (Although this mod may re-enable your ability to complete achievements)
