I'm wondering how to make an intersection between two roads with an angle of 35 degrees ?

As is common in questions on these forums, there is too little information to give an adequate response. There are often many variables that play into a scenario.

That being said: one should try to alter the intersection to try to achieve something closer to 90 degrees.
 
Use a roundabout.

I think Terry's method is more desirable. Otherwise, the driver's sighting could be impaired by the flat angle of intersection.
 
It's a pretty common thing, particularly in cities that have had unplanned development, like San Francisco

Yeah. Gotta love Market Street.

When I have to drive in San Francisco, which isn't too often these days, I do my best to avoid Market Street and Columbus Avenue.
