Hi again,
I found the solution myself:
Instead of using th 'brush stroke' tool, now I've been unsing the bezier tool instead with a comparably broad stroke value (6). After that, I disabled 'fill color', and then set the stroke width back to '1'.
That basically does it. Now I only have to get rid of the strokes at both ends, which only seems to work with brush strokes. Maybe I can will have to convert the bezier first, in order to be able to delete the strokes at the end.
I have not tried this, but maybe create a bezier for the road, then duplicate it, and change the width of the duplicate to make it thinner, and also change the colour. If you have square ends, it should leave them open.
It may be worth having a look at openstreetmap.org as they use inkscape to generate one of their tilesets.
