A riddle I thought of on the bus
$begingroup$
As the silhouette of a ball comes forth
Sprouts an arrow pointing North
To the left contains round borders
To the right lies four corners
The road is split between these three sections
You need me to make connections
What am I?

I have an answer in mind but it would require switching left and right. Are these definitely the right way round?

This looks like a
USB symbol: a ball with a North arrow, circle on the left and square four corners on the right.
This stands for the Universal Serial Bus so explains the title location.
Though this answer is the same as, and has similar questions to below, so may be a duplicate.

I think the answer might be
A Playstation controller button pad
Note: though by the wording of the riddle, this would need to be reflected.
As the silhouette of a ball comes forth
The button pad has a circular outline, the silhouette of a ball.
Sprouts an arrow pointing North
Triangle
To the left contains round borders
Circle - although this is on the right
To the right lies four corners
Square - although this is on the left
The road is split between these three sections
Cross - looks like a road intersection with three different paths
You need me to make connections
You use the pad to play games and you can connect with people online.

I would say that you are a
Compass
Because
The compass is usually round, and circle is silhouette of a ball
The arrow of a compass is always pointing north.
Borders and corners are markings on the compass - Corners are North, West, South, East. Borders are degree markings on the compass.
To navigate using the compass you actually have to use all three in order to determine your position and to find out where are you going

Am I being too literalistic or is this a
Road Sign for a Roundabout?
As the silhouette of a ball comes forth
You see the roadsign with the basic round shape of a roundabout
Sprouts an arrow pointing North
The main road continues straight ahead, or "North" of the roundabout.
To the left contains round borders
There are no exits to the left.
To the right lies four corners
There are two minor exits to the right, which are squared "stumps" with two corners each.
The road is split between these three sections
The road splits into the three exits.
You need me to make connections
Without the roundabout you can't get off the main road you're on.
I can't find an exact match but:
Imagine this sign with Orton Centre pointing North and Orton Goldhay, Orton Malborne and the other major exit removed. Oh and the two "Stump" (minor) exits moved round to the right.

Am I being too literalistic or is this a
Road Sign for a Roundabout?
As the silhouette of a ball comes forth
You see the roadsign with the basic round shape of a roundabout
Sprouts an arrow pointing North
The main road continues straight ahead, or "North" of the roundabout.
To the left contains round borders
There are no exits to the left.
To the right lies four corners
There are two minor exits to the right, which are squared "stumps" with two corners each.
The road is split between these three sections
The road splits into the three exits.
You need me to make connections
Without the roundabout you can't get off the main road you're on.
I can't find an exact match but:
Imagine this sign with Orton Centre pointing North and Orton Goldhay, Orton Malborne and the other major exit removed. Oh and the two "Stump" (minor) exits moved round to the right.

I suspect you're
Shadow
Since
As the silhouette of a ball comes forth
Sprouts an arrow pointing North
To the left contains round borders
To the right lies four corners
The road is split between these three sections
You need me to make connections
Shadow is connecting between sections :)

I have an answer in mind but it would require switching left and right. Are these definitely the right way round?
