What is the typical maximum distance to stay on the extreme right edge of a public road for crossing or matching designated town access routes?

Staying toward the extreme right edge of a public road while approaching or moving to crossing points or town access routes is a safety practice. The idea is to keep yourself out of the travel lane long enough to assess traffic and reach a safe crossing or designated access point without lingering in motorists’ way. The typical maximum distance for this is 500 yards, which gives a substantial buffer to observe, communicate intent, and choose a safe moment to cross or align with the access route. Options like 100 yards or 2 miles are either too short to ensure a clear crossing or far beyond what’s intended for safe, predictable positioning. A distance of 1/4 mile is close but still short of the standard maximum.
