How do you set up very traffic effective industrial districts?

I need to produce more general goods but industrial area generate a lot of traffic.. I already have a way of solving it but that is already being overloaded with a small amount of traffic. Please help

Switch over to DLC Industries. De-zone your commercial Then Move your goods by rail and keep your terminals as close to the facilities as you can.

I need more goods for my commercial, I can't dezone it all. Also, I meant how to lay out the industry zones itself, for vehicle traffic, because a standard grid layout will result in gridlock

One of the often overlooked rules is: don't put all of the industry in one place. Create smaller industrial areas in different places (on the city outskirts), so that the whole traffic is not originating from single district.

When you find out let me know. As stated previously, dont put it all in one place. Create 'Business Parks' where you have at least 2 well designed entrances and exits that you manage effectively. Lets say you have 100 Industry buildings, 4 different parks with 25 each will be better. Have larger mului lane boulevards connecting them to each other and your highways and train stations. Make sure your train station entrances can absorb a long line of waiting trucks. You will need to manage your truck traffic with TMPE

More goods means more traffic. If you won't reduce demand you might try putting industry on a one way loop road to ease the pressure on traffic or find an ulterior method (mod) to deliver your goods.
The game by the way will run very well and in fact quite smoothly without any commercial at all. No commercial means no need for industrial deliveries and no deliveries means no traffic. But I suspect you already know that.
