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 are often made of gravel because it is a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for rural areas with lower traffic volumes. Gravel roads can handle heavy loads and weather fluctuations better than paved roads, making them a practical choice for many rural communities.

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 paved or unpaved route for transportation that connects two or more locations. Roads can vary in size and purpose, from small rural roads to highways and freeways. They provide a way for vehicles and pedestrians to travel from one place to another efficiently.
