I have a dbfawk file that I use for the geobase data in Alberta. I still 
haven't settled on the best choice of colours, etc... It is a starting point 
to get you over the initial hump.

I find that the Alberta roadway data is separated into more road types than 
I am worried about. I really only want 3 road levels. Main and Secondary 
highways that show up at all zoom levels, collector roads that show up once 
zoomed in closer, and then street level detail. I still haven't figured out 
what colours work everywhere...
