State borders are definitely an improvement.

I'm not sure about the secondary roads.  At zoom 8, the previous render 
looks good, but it gets overwhelming once zoomed out a bit. (starting 
around zoom 6 I guess?)  Maybe just the narrowing, without touching the 
color would be better?  Or maybe less reduction of the saturation.

Railway lines are a big improvement, but should probably be a touch 
darker yet..  (IMO their visibility should be just below that of primary 
roads; they're currently just below secondary in visibility.)
