Yeah it would cost some money, but they make enough from speed cameras. Plus most of the rail infrastructure already exists. Just needs some improvements.

We are too big and have too small of a population to support massive infrastucture like you are proposing. The whole of europe fits inside mainland Australia and they still use trucks for transport, even with their much more advanced rail systems.
