If you mean that the final segment needs to connect to an existing
node on another road, then you don't need to switch tools - just 
shift click on the node you want to connect to. If the node doesn't
exist yet and you want to insert a node in an existing road and
connect to it then I believe control click does that.

I was doing the same as you until Frederik pointed out that I could
use shift click...
