How do you build roads in Cities Skylines?
A road is built using 1 Lumber and 1 Brick and is always placed on an unoccupied side of a hex, connected to another road, settlement, city, or metropolis. Although roads do not provide victory points, they are crucial for advancing in the game because new settlements can only be built next on an intersection adjacent to a road.
Can the Blue player build behind the Red player's settlement?
In the situation depicted above, the blue player would not be connecting his road piece to his own road but to the red player's settlement, which the rule prohibits. Therefore, only the red player may continue to build behind the red settlement.

Yes, settlements do break up other player's roads. If the blue player has a road that is six segments long, and the red player builds a settlement between two of the blue roads, than we say that the blue player's road is "broken". A broken road can not be counted for the Longest Road card.
Can you build a road and settlement on the same turn?

What to do if you can't get any good ore spaces?
If you can’t get any good ore spaces, hoard any ore you can get your grubby fingers on! It’s going to be incredibly valuable to you. Believe it or not, I see more people buying development cards when they lack ore than when they’ve got ore hexes. Again, the urge to buy s omething is the fault.
What to do if someone points out from everyone else?
If someone’s 2 or more points out from everyone else, you should put the robber on their hexes. If that someone is you, consider being nice and putting the robber on the desert (in many cases, you can still steal a resource!).

Having a high dot count in your initial placements goes a long way to ameliorating resource distribution , and that’s what I tend to emphasize. You’ll be able to trade with others for the things you don’t have.
How to counter scarce resource strategy?
As a counter to the scarce resource strategy, you can also try to determine where there will be an abundance of resources based on which resource has the highest combined probability numbers and put one of your first two settlements on the trading port for that resource. Opponents who aren't paying attention may trade you two sheep for a rock because they have an overage of sheep, forgetting that you are sitting on a sheep port and can now trade for any resource you need in your next turn.
How many tiles are there on a brick and rock board?
Depending on where the numbers land, it is always good to take a scan of which resources will be the most scarce in the game. Brick and rock only have 3 tiles on the board whereas others have 4 so they are usually the best candidates. However, if you see that wood only has one strong number and three very weak numbers, then you may want to corner out that strong number on wood, bolstering your trading power in the game.
How many cards can you have in a game of cards?
Given there is a limit of 7 cards before you are at risk of losing half your cards, it can be advantageous to have a steady stream of resources coming into your hand throughout the game. The best way to do this is to place your two first settlements on intersections with six different numbers total with ideally, the highest probability. If you can manage it, the best numbers to be on from the beginning would be 4,5,6,8,9,10 or some combination as close to that as possible. Ideally you would avoid being on a number twice and would expand such that your first settlement gains you two more numbers like 3 and 11 given the example above.
How many roads does Player 1 have?
Example: Player 1 has 8 roads which is broken up in the middle. Players 2 & 3 have 7 roads. Who claims the longest road?
Why does player 1 keep the longest road card?
Since player 1 possesses the longest road card, he/she keeps it, because no player has a longer road then his/her long road. The main question was answered correctly, but I wanted to point out there was no reason for orange to place the second road. In both scenarios he couldn't have built next to browns settlement.
What happens if you break the road in 7 and 1?
So Player 1 retains if the road is broken in “7 and 1”, otherwise it goes unclaimed.
Can you expand past opposing settlements?
The second scenario is not allowed: you are not able to "expand past opposing settlements". Specifically, a road may only be placed next to an existing road if the intersection in between is either unoccupied, or occupied by a piece that is not able to block expansion. Friendly settlements and cities never block expansion, while opposing settlements and cities do. (Most opposing pieces in general do, but some in scenarios do not, or have their status unclear. For example, opposing wagons do not block road placement.)
Can settlements break up roads?
As others have stated, the first scenario is allowed, and in fact used as an example of how settlements can be used to break up roads in some editions of the manual. (This may be in the context of breaking the Longest Road, but possibly exactly in the scenario that you are asking about - building past opposing settlements.) Additionally, some editions of the C&K manual have a more detailed example about using a knight to block, and then having the knight displaced.
Who gets the longest road special victory card?
So, the the situation that you stated above (assuming that "broken in the middle" means that player 1 now has two segments that are 4 roads long each), the Longest Road Special Victory card would go to nobody, because there is no single player with the longest road (2 & 3 are tied).
Can Orange continue building from the split off road?
