In city traffic, at least 1 1/2 -2 blocks ahead. On rural (country) roads about 4 blocks or 1/2 mile ahead.
Rural roads typically have lower traffic volumes and fewer infrastructure requirements compared to city streets. Rural roads are often simpler in design, with less emphasis on features like sidewalks, bike lanes, and public transportation. Due to the lower population density in rural areas, rural roads may be designed to accommodate larger vehicles and agricultural traffic.
Most accidents happen where there are the most people. HOWEVER, about 50% of fatal accidents happen on rural roads.
Rural communities often have narrow roads that may be unpaved or gravel, with lower traffic volumes compared to urban areas. These roads may also have fewer amenities such as street lights or sidewalks.
In general, it is true that it is less dangerous to drive on rural roads than it is to drive in heavy traffic, simply because there is less danger of colliding with other vehicles. But if you drive badly enough, you can still collide with a tree, while driving on a rural road.

Country roads that are not in the city
I would say no. In rural area roads and bridges are the responsibility of the county.
Its natural enemies are the badger and wild canines, and sometimes birds of prey (hawks, owls). Quite a few are accidentally killed by traffic on rural roads.
The best material for constructing roads depends on factors such as traffic volume, climate, and soil conditions. In general, asphalt is a common choice due to its durability, flexibility, and ability to withstand various weather conditions. However, concrete is also used for its strength and longevity, especially in high-traffic areas. Ultimately, the selection of material should be based on the specific requirements of the road project.
A road is a thoroughfare route or way on land between two places that has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by foot or some form of conveyance including a vehicle, cart, bicycle, truck, and buses. Purpose of Road Classification A road network is composed of various types of roads, each of which performs a particular service in facilitating vehicular travel between points of trip origin and destination, and in providing access to the property. Road classification is the orderly grouping of roads into systems according to the type and degree of service they provide to the public. Classification of Roads 1. Based on Materials Earthen roads Gravel roads Murrum roads Kankar roads WBM roads Bituminous roads Concrete roads 2. Based on Location and Function National highways State highways District roads Rural roads or village roads 3. Based on Traffic Volume Light traffic roads Medium traffic roads High traffic roads 4. Based on Economy Low-cost roads Medium cost roads High-cost roads 5. Based on Traffic Type Pedestrian ways Cycle tracks Motorways 6. Based on Rigidity Flexible roads Rigid roads 7. Based on Topography Plain area roads Hilly area roads Factors Affecting Classification of Roads Many different classification systems have been introduced and used for a particular purpose. The basis for some of these classifications are: Legal control Surface type Function Geometric elements Location Traffic volume
