Any way to quickly modernize roads?

I hit the year 1925, when all of the roads turn to asphalt instead of mostly dirt. I would like to upgrade all the roads my buses and trucks use to maximize their efficiency and speed, but, like with other replacement processes in the game, the only way I see to do this is to upgrade each road individually to my liking. Does anyone know of any tricks to expedite the process (mods? a way to spread an upgrade like in City Skylines instead of having to click individually?)?

Upgrading track to high-speed

I had a thought about upgrading to high-speed. Consider the real world: typically, high-speed lines are not replacements for classic lines on the same alignment. They are usually built separately, sometimes entirely like Shinkansen or the UK’s HS1, sometimes only for certain stretches. If you don’t want to demolish your lovely railway and rebuild it to go high-speed, well, then don’t. Build a new high-speed line next to it and run your passenger service on that, using the classic lines only for goods and local services if you have any. The new line must avoid all the junctions with goods branches to ensure that goods trains do not use them, and will hence segregate fast from slow traffic.

Obviously if you already have a four-track railway with fast and slow lines then you could still demolish and rebuild…but this is an opportunity to improve the alignment to reduce curvature and gradient if your alignment is still what you built in 1850. In other words, demolish your old fast lines, leave the slow lines in place for goods traffic, and build a better-aligned high-speed line nearby.
