We use asphalt roofing paper (underlayment). The roll size from Home Depot (about $38) is so big you can do all the roads and parking lots on your layout, your friend's layout, and several others. You can cut it using the "score and snap" method or scissors. Here's what it looks like:

All my friends that have used any type of foam product ended up with divots where their vehicle sit. How is the surface texture Matt? 

 

It feels slightly rough to the touch like a road. It's relatively thin and flexible and doesn't get divots from being touched unless you mount it on foam or foam core. In my example, it's glued on top of a thin layer of dirt which is glued to plywood (it's glued to the ties in the track). I've finished the design on another layout I plan to build and will be using it again.
