We used to live (a long time ago) in a house that was on a busy rat run in London. The council put in a road width restrictor to attempt to discourage the traffic but as it was immediately outside the house we also got all the acceleration/deceleration noise.
Secondary double glazing was very effective, and our master bedroom was next to the road. I'd consider the garden noise as well,though, particularly if you've got kids. If they're going to be playing out the back, it probably won't be an issue.
Reduce road noise

Good luck.
