rural roads
Unpaved back routes
Rural roads are roads in the countryside, away from cities and suburbs.
They tend to be narrower, less maintained, and more lightly traveled than urban streets or highways.
Rural roads often lack sidewalks, streetlights, and sometimes pavement: We got lost on winding rural roads with no cell signal.
The phrase appears frequently in transportation planning and traffic safety contexts.
