Railroads are a much better alternative.
Here in the Netherlands there were many routes but since the automobile came, many of them were closed. If they would still be open, there would be at least 50% trucks on the road.
I also have the opinion that most food should be consumed in the region it is grown. It was reduces traffic even more.
They drive live stock from the Netherlands to Italy to slaughter it and gets packed in Spain before it goes back to the Netherlands.
