    Here urban is loosely defined as everything inside the city/town/village perimeter, with no reference to where the city/town/village is located.

        Yes,but there are two different definitions ar work here: Traffic laws vs sociology/geography/common speech. According to traffic law, it’s almost impossible to live in a rural area, because all areas settled by humans are considered urban for the sake of traffic regulations. Otherwise, “urban” references cities and “rural” everything not a city. A “rural town” makes perfect sense in common speech, but is an oxymoron in traffic legalese.

        So everything inside the perimeter of a city/town/village is urban and therefor under the urban law traffic code, even if the village is in the middle of nowhere.
        We are discussing traffic laws. I doubt that where you live the traffic laws that are valid inside the biggest city are different from the ones valid in a small village in the middle of nowhere (with the due exceptions)
