I recall 2 types of crossroads in songs, fables etc. One is the kind that has 2 very different outcomes depending which road is taken, a good to right, evil to the left kind of thing. The other, perhaps more fatalistically, has the same results because the road only diverges for a while, then converges again. Of course off the top of my head I can't think exactly which songs have these, it's the patterns that have stayed with me.
