I am a newbie to opencv (I started using it like yesterday..) the image of the roads is as below. (I took it from google maps and editing in opencv) however the problem is that i have to detect all the points where the roads "pass" each other. Can someone help please?

Hi Aro, are you trying to find out the crossings of two roads?

yes, basically, i want to read the whole map so the starting point for this task is to detect the road crossings and start building up the map from there

any suggestions are welcome

I think you have two solution:

if all road are line: use the Hough transform (here) and find intersections analytically.
if you are in the more general and complex case (''the real one'') where road are anything: lines, circle, curves, ... the first thing to try is thinning algorithm from this post which is related to finger print detection (quite close to your subject) and after you can either find intersections with detector inspired from fingerprint (no ref, but I'm looking) or build a graph from each line (just follow the line and look at the neighborhood) to make a road graph.

Enjoy.
