While not building Roads at all and exclusively using Rails is the ultimate solution, this is an expensive venture. A hybrid combination is recommended, ensuring you use Rails in the traffic-heavy sections of your city at a minimum, until you can afford to replace all Roads with Rail.

Tips

Consider a hybrid approach using both Roads and Rails.
Prioritize using Rails in areas with the most traffic.
Plan for a future where all Roads can be replaced with Rails if traffic remains a persistent issue.
