This cannot be done to the best of my knowledge. It is a limitation of the EXE. The EXE requires all border connections for networks to have two-way traffic for commuting calculations and pathfinding purposes. Power lines and water pipes seem to be exempt from this rule, despite they are defined as networks.

There is a possible workaround, though. The NAM allows roads and oneway roads to connect inline with each other, within 1 tile. So you could fake the oneway road connections at the border by leaving one tile of a road connection at the border's edge and then connect the oneway road to that.

I do this all the time, especially since I use frontage roads with my highways. It's not exactly the same, but it does the job.
