In EASAland roads are treated as almost indisputable NoGo landing spots. One reason is, mentality is quite different in Europe, where SEP are treated as "rich dads boy toys" and not accepted as usual means of transport.

In the US a SEP is a totally normal vehicle to serve your transportation needs and a road is one part of the infrastructure to do your personal transportation. So, if in doubt in the US, take one of the big roads, some of them are even built that way to also serve as a runway.
