You are riding on a rural road with a 60 mph speed limit. What is the PRIMARY reason this type of road can be more dangerous for motorcyclists than an urban road?

1. The volume of traffic is much higher, increasing collision risk.
2. Higher potential speeds combined with unexpected hazards like sharp bends and poor surfaces.
3. Street lighting is generally better, which can cause distracting glare.
4. There are more pedestrians and cyclists to be aware of.
