Change Google Maps JS Api's styles based on zoom level

Hi guys!

I'm using the Google Maps JS API in order to display a customised maps on my client's site. I set the stroke weight to '2', however, when zoomed out to a certain level, the stroke gets to heavy. How can I change this weight based on the zoom level?

I've made a start with the help of another question but am stuck, here my code so far:

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'zoom_changed', function() {
      var zoom = map.getZoom();
      if (zoom <= 20) {
//        change the road.highway stroke weight to '2';
      } else {
//        change the road.highway stroke weight to '1';
      }
    });

does anybody have a clue on how to do this?
