In a sense we are. They are called railroads. Rails are the same width as the ruts in the Roman roads cut by the wheels of the chariots. All wheeled wagons had to follow suit to avoid breaking the axles in the ruts. The width of the wheels got passed all the way down to modern railroads.
2006 I traveled, in a 20th C ICE, on a Roman road--the connection between the high-speed highway and the local road leading to Cumae. For me, a 'mind-blowing' concept.
One would think we’d be building roads like Rome did, that are still pothole free 2000 years later.

Yep interesting stuff right there.
