Neat. Does that mean that every road segment is a separate mesh?

Depends on what you mean by "mesh". Each road segment is an instanced rectangle that gets extruded and beveled so that it fits tightly against adjacent segments, and then the pixels are shaded using AAA (with a capsule-shaped distance field) so that the result looks like an antialiased wide line with round end caps and joints.
