Can anyone tell me how far away you can see people on the road? At what percentage difference does someone fall out of your view?

I believe it's 5 pixels in either direction, ahead or behind.

A distance of 5 pixels either way, indeed. The information is on the pixel description page.

That's strange. So the actual distance of a road doesn't matter (i.e. the internal one, not the graphical) at all then. Since roads can look short but be very long, or the other way around. I thought it was the actual distance in % that mattered.

Actually this is good logic. Think RL. Does it matter how far a road goes on beyond the horizon?

The length of most roads in Cantr is directly derived from the distance between the locations on the map. Only on a few of the oldest islands this can differ.
