How to overlay roads layer on top of all layers in OpenLayers?

Question

I want to put roads layer (from any source, please recommend some..) on top of my KML polygons and base layer:

baseLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("OpenLayers WMS", "http://labs.metacarta.com/wms/vmap0", {layers:"basic"});
            map.addLayer(baseLayer);

Is that possible?

not with wms - try a wfs or wfs-t service en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Feature_Service — Mapperz, Commented Aug 22, 2012 at 18:50

@againstflow Not really, I use the default openstreetmap or google maps layer. the link drnextgis posted looks like it might help.
