Or maybe rail for commercial transport....

Yup, rail for long distance commercial transport. Regulate trucking (as its a profession).

Truck speed limiters for all commercial trucks over 10ft in size. Restricted truck sizes in city centers limited to cargo trucks or maybe 15ft maximum at certain hours.

Prevent truckers form overtaking each other on the hwy or any roads over 80kmh in speed. Restrictions for trucks to stay on the right.

Redesign on/off ramp location so the right lane does not "disappear". This IMO is the largest reason for traffic as all truckers hog the center lane because of the disappearing right lane.

For roads like the Gardiner trucking should be restricted at certain hours.
