The Feature To Line (Data Management) geoprocessing tool can be used for 'cleaning up' the data.
The help file mentions:
Where input lines or polygon boundaries touch, cross, or overlap each
other at locations other than their start and end vertices, they will
be split at those intersections; each of the split lines will become
an output line ...

You should be able to use the Arrow At End symbol from the Symbol Selector to show the digitised direction of polylines.

The purpose of that box is to control how far generated polygons will extend beyond the outside edges of the network.
Consider a dense grid of streets as in a city. Service areas for facilities near the edge of the network may extend well beyond the range of your network with high enough break values. You are not concerned with areas beyond 'city limits', ...

There is more than one solution to this problem.
This is a way that I would recommend:.
Assuming ArcMap is your primary tool:
Open the attribute table of the network source features.
Add a field of type "Short" (any integer type will do). This will effectively be a boolean value. Give it a name that would describe it as a restriction.
For each road ...

Since you are on ArcGIS, here it goes..
Skills:
I suggest starting with learning basics of Network Analyst (further NA). It is impossible to get started preparing the data for network analysis withouth understanding of the basics of the GIS routing and network analysis theory (graphs, edges, junctions, cost, algorithms). Industry: a good place to start is ...

Both are just different names for the same thing. You can see this by using the is operator:
arcpy.na.CopyTraversedSourceFeatures is arcpy.CopyTraversedSourceFeatures_na
will return:
True
Which tells you that both of these names point to the same object.
Your best course of action is to pick one way of doing it in your scripts and stick with it. Just ...

In ArcGIS 10, the default number of features returned by an ArcGIS Service for queries (identify/find/query) is 1000, though yours could have been set to 500. You will need to change the service properties in order to increase the maximum number of results. You can do that by stopping the map service, going to Service Properties - Parameters tab, and ...

Since you mentioned that are you doing network analysis, I recommend assigning the symbology for your road edges within the network dataset layer in the TOC instead. You are on ArcGIS 10.2, so here are the steps:
Add the network dataset into the ArcMap TOC.
Open the Layer Properties dialog box by double-clicking the network dataset layer in the ArcMap table ...

the grass algorithm v.net.alloc can produce the subnets - you can call it from the Processing toolbox (tested in QGIS 2.16)
You'll need a point layer (for facilities) and a lines layer with costs (either time/length). It'll create a new line layer with a field called cat added, which will be the id of the nearest facility.
Here's an example based on ...

Firstly, I am not clear on what kind of output you expect. Do the red and blue vertices consist of pairs? (i.e. do you want the shortest path from one of the red vertex to a specific blue Vertex?)
You should have a look at creating shortest routes
This requires all the stops that you route must past through. So assuming that your requirement is the shortest ...

This is an instance of a shortest path problem: given a set S of polygonal "obstacles" (considered as open point sets), a start point p, and an end point q, to find a shortest path from p to q that does not intersect the interior of S.
Such problems are solved by first constructing the "visibility graph" of S. One first proves that any shortest path from p ...

Network Analyst uses a network of roads, because straight-line distance does not accurately represent the roads that a fire truck must drive on. This is especially true if there are geographic barriers (rivers or streams) or in a rural area with fewer roads.
In contrast, flight time analysis would not use a network because planes or helicopters can travel ...

You can use the Planarize Lines tool in ArcGIS (ArcEditor or ArcInfo license is required).
Keep in mind though that you would lose the overpass/underpass information in this case since all the intersecting lines will be splitted. More general reading on splitting lines is available here.

If your facilities and incidents are both feature layers, and you only care about finding the closest (and not 2nd closest, 3rd closest, etc.) then you can just run Spatial Join. Set your incidents as the target_features, facilities as join_features, and closest as the match_option, and it will join the attributes of the nearest facility to each incident.

You cannot create a network dataset with arcpy at this time. Your option is to use ArcObjects. There is a Street Data Processing toolbox that is built on .NET by Esri (the source code is provided), which you might modify to meet your business workflows. A GP tool which is part of the toolbox creates a network dataset with certain user-defined parameters, so ...

Your Network Dataset requires the Cost/Attribute in the Function Evaluator (when building your network)
You can see here there are 4 types of attribute (Minutes will build your drive time analysis buffers)
See
Types of evaluators used by a network

You should use the Reorder Stops To Find Optimal Route option.
By default, a route traverses stops in the order you define. However,
you can possibly shorten the route further by letting Network Analyst
find the best order. It will account for a variety of variables, such
as time windows. Another option is to preserve the origin and
destination ...

As far as I know it's not possible to solve for alternate routes without some additional input or change to the analysis. In a network, given a particular impedance, there is only one shortest route between two points. As soon as you start looking for alternates without any additional input you've essentially removed the 'shortest' constraint and are back to ...

As an answer to both Uffe Kousgaard comments about "what the 18GB file contains" compared to a routable shapefile, and a possible answer to this question:
You don't explicitly state it, but I guess you used the ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap to convert your data. If not, I really recommend to have a look at it, as it contains a dedicated option to create ...

I see from your tags that you are running ArcGIS 10. I've used the following method for a similar task:
1) Use Multipart to Single Part
2) Use Unsplit
In order for this to work (i.e. so that you have the lines in the proper order) you may need to break the line into the constituent end points and then change the direction based on an attribute (e.g. 1 = ...

There are two choose for you on NAServer. The NAServer is a MapServer object extension that can be used to perform network analysis in a stateless environment using ArcGIS Server.
For publishing a network analysis service you can check out this tutorial...

This problem is one of optimization. As such, let's express the objective and the constraints. I will formulate this in a dual manner: rather than thinking of the objective as achieving full coverage of the network, let's consider this as a constraint and make the objective be that of minimizing the total cost to achieve that coverage.
Thus, the objective ...

As the error says, you have problems with the network dataset itself not the Route layer or solving the model. I'd try several things:
1) Add a network dataset to ArcMap and when prompted do not add any source features. Does it draw correctly and has edges? If yes, then the network dataset has been built properly.
Try running a simple test of routing ...

You can use the Make Service Area Layer, Add Locations, Solve, and Save to layer file geoprocessing tools to generate service areas for multiple input features (e.g. a point layer with geocoded addresses). This is analagous to the workflow using the ArcMap GUI described in the Service area analysis help topic.

I think some of the answer depends on the layout of the road network, and this question might be worth posting on the Math Stack Exchange (https://math.stackexchange.com/) as it seems like a graph theory problem. I don't think this will be the optimal solution, but it might help get you closer.
You could divide up the road network into natural regions, ...

My solution to this was kind of a kludge, but then I was doing a small class project working with a subset of one county's roads so the network wasn't that big and I didn't need to do it as a common task. I just ran a service area analysis with the time set large enough that in theory everything should be reachable. That highlighted everything that was ...

You could try the Identity tool, using your line features as the input, and polygons as the identity features:
"When the Input Features are lines and the Identity Features are polygons, and the Keep relationships parameter is checked (relationship set to KEEP_RELATIONSHIPS), the output line feature class will have two additional fields, LEFT_poly and ...

A network dataset must reside within a feature dataset. A feature dataset can be created in either a file geodatabase (folder.gdb) or a personal geodatabase (filename.mdb). You can't create one in a shapefile, if that's what you mean by 'normal'. Note you'll need to add the street layer to the network dataset in order to build a network from it, and there ...

The ArcGIS network analyst extension needs a properly prepared network dataset (graph) for routing. Ordinary OpenStreetMap data sets are not routable because they are simple linestrings. Take a look at the OSM2NetwordDataset tool by Eva Peters.
This tool creates a routable network dataset and takes turn restrictions (from OSM relations), oneway roads and ...
