A government adviser has called for roads in cities to be “ripped out completely” to combat air pollution.

We should start changing our cities and actually start thinking about ripping out road infrastructure and turning them into green spaces or green transport corridors.

And? I mean, sure it could technically be interpreted that way, but with only three words of the original quote, “all roads” is a pretty unkind reading IMO. More likely the article has deliberately introduced ambiguity to stoke exactly the outrage you exhibit.
