How to unlock the I Know These Roads achievement in Forza Horizon 3 - Definitive Guide
If you're having trouble finding the last roads you have to drive on, this thread may be of use:
The "487/488 roads discovered" club
Be sure to post a screenshot there once you find that final elusive road!

Just to the Right of my cursor was my last road.
Editor's note: most people say in the comments of this solution and the thread that this is their last one, so I've moved it to the top of the solution. Thanks Kevrulezz!
The road is EXACTLY where I am sat:
Another one I had that looked marked off on the map but not in freeroam
First, I used the "Accessibility" zoom on Xbox One to find one of my three missing ones. I in-game-zoomed in on the map as much as I could, held the jewel down on the controller until the "power off" popup showed, and hit the "Select" button on the controller. That enabled me to see a lot more detail. That helped me find my biggest road, shown in the first image link.
For the last two, I took a different approach. I fired up FH3 on my PC, and then adjusted various color, hue, etc. settings until the roads on the map were like bright neon signs. I spent *HOURS* on Xbox trying to find these roads; it took me less than 10 minutes on my PC. The undiscovered roads stuck out like sore thumbs :)
(If you want to try this method, but your PC can't handle FH3, it might be worth trying this method while streaming from your Xbox.)
Hopefully one or both of these methods is helpful to someone. :)
To the right of my cursor very small patch of gray, really blends in.
To the right of the cursor, passed it over several times because at a quick glance the top looks like just an edge to the bottom road which I've cleared.

I dug up a bunch of links to threads about missing roads and started with this solution.
I was convinced that either my map was hopelessly glitched or that my color-blindness was going to make it impossible to ever find it - and my hopes that I would just randomly run it across it while racing or free-roaming had faded to obscurity.
About five minutes after beginning my new effort I read the following advice from this solution:
I'm colorblind, so finding my last few roads was particularly difficult, and I was sitting at 485/488 for a while. Unfortunately this thread didn't help me any (but thanks to everyone for posting their finds!), so here's what I did.
First, I used the "Accessibility" zoom on Xbox One to find one of my three missing ones. I in-game-zoomed in on the map as much as I could, held the jewel down on the controller until the "power off" popup showed, and hit the "Select" button on the controller. That enabled me to see a lot more detail. That helped me find my biggest road, shown in the first image link.
The map wasn't glitched. The little dashed bit of missing road was clearly grey (when zoomed in) and was easy to discern (when zoomed in). But I couldn't see that bastard until I zoomed in - it just blended in to the rest of the terrain.
So if you are having trouble like me and haven't tried the "accessibility zoom" function yet, I suggest you give it a whirl.
Wishing you nothing but prosperity in the future FrankBennedetto!!
(For the record, it was this bit of road:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnFQHwrFvvfOdXmCPdRGJWKEu1c
from Rigpig1919's separate solution for this achievement, so if I had followed my original plan of looking at everyone else's missing road I would have eventually come across it without the use of the "accessiblity zoom" - the zoom just helped me find it quicker.)
Best of luck for those struggling!
P.S.: not sure if the other pics work for you, so I uploaded them to another filehoster.

I streamed FH3 to a Windows 10 PC, put the brightness to 5 in the game video settings, sat close to the screen and removed all the activity icons on the map (LB for filter).
Good luck.

Not sure how to upload pics but my last one is directly under the cursor in the above link.
While comparing the picture from FrankBennedetto with my map it totally hit me:

I found WHITE road that I missed. So the thing you are looking for if you are in the same situation as me is THE WHITE ROAD, not the orange one.
You are probably looking for an intersection, usually tight or small one that looks like completed but it is not. Search between short streets that has a lot of intersections. Darken your gamma and you will find the one you were missing in no time.
I hope it helps.
Finally I've got the achievement. All roads were shown as discovered, but the achievement didn't pop.
My "final stretch" of the road was entering the sattelite dish area in northern section where danger sign jump is located.
Hope that I've helped someone.
Cheers and drive fast but safe
For every road you drive, at the bottom of the screen it will show you how many roads you discovered. There are 488 roads to find and some are quite hidden in the world. The tricky ones are dotted on your map, like those leading up to small farms or remote dirt roads. Once you've discovered a road, it will show as a more solid color on your map (i.e. tarmac will be solid white, dirt roads solid pink).
In the course of the game, without effort, you will unlock about 425 roads already depending on how you play the career. Use the map and certainly your mini-map to find grey (tarmac) or light brown (dirt) roads; those are the ones you still need to go to and drive them.
Both of my non-open areas were in rather tricky places, one of which you probably wouldn't find because it's in the center of the yard and not connected to any other roads!
I am attaching screenshots of my most difficult places to find, I hope this hint will help someone
