Choose the Pen Tool.  You may have noticed that when you click on a tool, its properties are displayed at the bottom of the tools panel.  Set the Pen Tool's stroke color to white and its fill color to a dark gray.

In the properties panel, set the stroke width to 1 and solid, as shown below.

Next you will draw a road.  You can draw it in any manner as long as it meets the following criteria.  It must:
1) have at least one curve in it.
2) appear to leave the banner then come back on again.
3) be gray in color with a white outline.
4) be very close to the same width throughout.
5) leave a large area of green visible so that text may be read upon it.
