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.

like many other laws, these types of laws are left to the communities or local government to make and enforce. the point here is not to abuse your driving on "roads" or rural country roads. Don't drive on major roads because that would be illegal. You have to have license plates and a paid registration to drive on public streets.
Most accidents happen where there are the most people. HOWEVER, about 50% of fatal accidents happen on rural roads.
