Yes they have long overland distances to cover, like the USA--but still rarely match our mode share. In Japan those sorts of goods can just go by sea instead of needing overland routes.

At least the UK mostly avoided urban motorways. Mostly. A few did get built (notably the M8 in Glasgow which is basically an LA freeway in cold, wet Scotland).
