Hi, I also agree with Andrew and Stéphane for the dotted line inside the colored broad line. WFP mixes colors for 2 different categories in their road maps (ex: http://reliefweb.int/map/pakistan/pakistan-road-conditions-map-northern-sindh-and-balochistan-12th-october-2012) and the result is just wrong, according to the map graphic semiology.
