From Cities Skylines experience it's usually to relieve traffic blocks by providing a direct path to areas/landmarks that have a higher than average traffic load. Not sure why they did it though.
That sounds like a reasonable explanation, but I'd have thought that Barcelona was laid out far before the advent of modern city planning.

Eixample was built in the mid-1800s iirc, and they did put some thought into its construction.
