Crossroadses can't cross each other, they aren't roads, they are places where roads meet. You only get one more complicated crossroads.

>When one crossroad intersects another, we have crossroads.

True, and I was asking for this common case, how does one put them into plural - is "to get there you need to go straight on first four crossroadses and take a right on the fifth", or...?
