The IEDs are only useful when you can predict the Coalition troops coming.
Limited road networks to get certain places help that predictability. Constant vigilence only gets you so far, you can't guard all stretches of road all the time. There are plenty of insurgents who are willing to sit in a house or bush all day long until the troops ride through and let the thing rip.
