The new LPE Fillet/Chamfer will do the rounded corners on a line. You can make the line thicker. Later on you can change the line to a path with a stroke through menu > path > stroke to path. That is not a life effect.
There is also the LPE powerstroke, but that will not make the inside of a corner rounded.
So, I think it is one life effect or the other. Maybe someone else knows a better solution?
For the double lines, I'd suggest the (already available) Pattern-along-Path LPE. You can stretch a rectangle along the path like that.
For the thing you seem to want to achieve (the specific case you present in the picture), I would create a rectangle with rounded corners and a stroke, then turn stroke to path and cut that.
yes but you need 1.0 (beta or latest release) Path effects: - LPE Corners (chamfer/ fillet ) - LPE Offset also you don need to use offset just wide stroke
I guess that depends on the type of round corners that you need - if you want to be able to define a radius, then you need the fillet/chamfer LPE, if all you want is to make your corners rounded automatically, BSpline is sufficient.

Hi all,
Just wondering if inkscape has the same feature as Adobe illustrator when it comes to line effects:
Looking to combine both effects to quickly draw many roads. Like this: https://imgur.com/a/1UJExS8
Thanks in advance!
Hi Sassafras,
I think the newest Inkscape has some Life Path Effects in that direction. (Ctrl+Shift+7 > click the + button)

Just tried it out, BSpline + Pattern along path works well already. Should also work in the current version (0.92.4):
yes but you need 1.0 (beta or latest release)
Path effects:
- LPE Corners (chamfer/ fillet )
- LPE Offset
also you don need to use offset just wide stroke
Beta isn't needed - as shown above in the picture.
B spline is no a replacement for rounded corners you have no control over the radius and also its different geometry than rounded corners
I guess that depends on the type of round corners that you need - if you want to be able to define a radius, then you need the fillet/chamfer LPE, if all you want is to make your corners rounded automatically, BSpline is sufficient.
there is a big diffrence
