I'm fascinated by different perceptions of country living vs. city living vs. surburban living.
This is an interesting question. Where I currently live is considered rural residential and it's outside of town limits. I've been sitting here at my computer at 2:30 in the afternoon and the vehicles are coming by about 1 every 10 to 40 seconds. That's pretty typical for mid day and evening. In the peak hours in the morning and late afternoon that will increase to 1 vehicle every 5 seconds, often with clusters of vehicles. Between 9 pm and 5 am the traffic is light. The bugger at 5 AM is that is when the logging trucks start. The speed limit is 45 mph (75 ish kph) but most drivers are going much faster than that.

As for the increase in tourist traffic, that's mostly between June and September. The general mid day and evening traffic is less outside of those months.
