Yeah, so instead of using semis going 100kph, put the cargo they haul in freit trains .. Train tracks last quite a while. And you will get a good rail network out of it as a bonus. And now your roads last longer ! What a treat ;)
That's awesome and outside the scope of changing the building material for roads.
