Assuming you mean commericial grade hauler trucks and such, I absolutely agree with all your points.

... Are we running commercial trucks on biodiesel yet?

But yeah, for personal transit... a huge amount of the world gets around on bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles. Cars are basically a luxury, like, any car.

Of course that works because public transit over long distances tends to work, and the whole country tends to not be laid out as just a cancerous mass of utterly useless suburubs, strewn out around urban cores that are half parking lot.

I dunno, if we just say, banned pickup trucks and SUVs for private use, well, that'd cut down on road maintenance a good deal, would make being a moped or bicycle or motorcycle commuter a bit more feasible.
