I concur 100% and probably would admit in even stronger terms how much the current road design suck big ole hairy gorilla balls. I don't like it, but for the time being, the road system is sitting a bit at the bottom of the list: I need to take a gander at other maps and see how other people are styling them.

Given the varying colors and textures of the map itself, I will need to use some kind of border to strengthen it visually, and along with the textures of the typeface, I don't think a flat color line will work...

You could do a very low-opacity white line, varied in thickness/dotted depending on if it's a major or minor road. That way you'd still see the terrain and the roads might blend in a little better while still being visible.
