I think this could be a valid approach. But I would go one level deeper. You could split roads by urban, interurban (highways) and rural roads. For urban and rural, you could make assumptions based on your own experience as you describe above, but then you'll need to add highways that connect the metropolitan areas.

Hi, in addition to the solutions proposed by the other coaches in the discussion, I would like to suggest similar cases in the platform to practice with:

Hello!

What you are mentioning could be a way, but it would be highly biased depending on your past experience.

I would better proceed with total area > division between highly populated and low populated > calculation of # of connections.

You could also estimate urban points (small, medium and large) and connections from there.

Best,

Clara
