In the EU at borders lorries and freight trains are x-rayed. I've only crossed the external EU border by land a couple of times, but lorries had to drive at a constant speed (without stopping!) through a metal archway, which presumably was the x-ray machine.
I haven't seen a similar system near vulnerable infrastructure, but it might exist. It may be overkill for a lightly trafficked road.
