Would you give me some clues how to build temporary map file on-the-fly? =
 Is this a feature from Mapserver or should I do it with PHP or =
something else?

    Thanks for your attention.
  I believe your backend app will need to build a temporary map file on =
the
  fly with the specific roads setup with special colors and size.

  Recently this list answered question of changing the size of lines ...
  by using a circle symbol and setting the size of the symbol.  Scan the
  archives for that thread.
