I'm drawing maps in Illustrator. Our way of depicting divided highways is parallel lines with a fill. Here is an example:



The way I did this was a 1 point yellow stroke, command c, command f, send to back, explained stroke to 2 points and make black.

These are a pain to make and edit. I'm wondering if there's a way to do this with a single stroke.

I'd create pattern brush with any type of colors you want.

For example, I created 3 rectangles and dropped them to brush panel choosing in popping up panel Pattern Brush.





After that you can apply this pattern to any path you want whenever you want without adjusting weights, borders etc:

Yes! - Appearance panel to the rescue. You can duplicate the existing stroke by dragging it to the 'new' or paper icon. Then just make the second stroke larger. See my example for you below.
