Open a new file of your choice in size. Choose the pen tool and make a stroke.
Open the appearance palette by choosing Window/Appearance from the file menu. Also make sure that the stroke palette is open by selecting Window/Stroke from the file menu. In the stroke palette change the weight to 10pt.
Drag 10pt stroke from the appearance palette to the Duplicate Selected Item icon at the bottom of the palette. This will create a copy of the 10pt stroke.
Double click on the stroke tile and drag the cursor to the white area to make the stroke at the top of the heap white. Go back to the stroke palette and change the weight of this white stroke to 1pt. This should give you a white stripe through the middle of the black stroke that we started with as shown below.
Now go to the stroke palette and put a check in the dashed lines box. In the first dash box type 2pt and press enter.
You may end up with the sample below.
Now we have created the road style. Click on the New Graphic Style button in the graphic styles palette and your road will be saved in this document as a style.
Double click on the new style and name it "Road".
If we make a stroke in this document, we can add this style to it by clicking on the Graphic Style button.
Save the document. To access this style from a new document, choose Window/Graphic Style Libraries/Other Library and navigate to the file you saved and double click it, and a new window will pop up with your road style in it.
