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.
Okay. How are they impacted by rules on urban development?
Because also the small rural village is classified as “urban” so it need to follow the same general law.
Rural and urban are not mutually exclusive
They are literally antonyms
Here urban is loosely defined as everything inside the city/town/village perimeter, with no reference to where the city/town/village is located.
Right, and rural would be the opposite, anywhere outside that perimeter.
