Thank you all for your help,
I had the feeling this is how it's done, but I was hoping for a simpler
approach.
Anyway, now I must only find some decent colors for my layers :)
Cheers,
Adrian

Adrian,
that is a fairly simple trick, you need to draw roads twice to do it.
You can do that with two separate layers or two STYLE objects within a
class depending on what effect you want to achieve.
In both cases, you just draw the road 2 pixels wider in your 'outline'
color (called a casement). For instance, assuming you are using two
STYLE objects:
LAYER
NAME "Major Roads"
TYPE LINE
DATA myroads
CLASS
NAME "Major Roads"
STYLE #Casement style
SIZE 9
COLOR 192 192 192
SYMBOL "circle"
END
STYLE #Center style
SIZE 7
COLOR 255 255 255
SYMBOL "circle"
END
END
END
You would use two separate layers to draw the casement and center
style if you had several layers and/or classes of roads that you
wanted to 'merge' the casements - in your google screenshoot, you
should notice that the grey casement on Hollywood St merges with the
casement on W 8th St and there is no grey line between the two center
colors, this would be how to achieve a similar effect in MapServer.

Yes Bob, I like the roads. :)
Can you show me how you are able to draw contours around your roads?
Thanks

Adrian,
Would the lines used for this map work for you?

Looks like the original Mapfile link is broken though, I'll need to
fix that in the morning.
