Ebrahim Golavar
intercity/nonurban
Explanation:
Unfortunately we do not have a word/phrase just like the Persian one.

The Persian context indicates traffic which is mainly outside the city.

These are the closest we have in English, I think. "intercity" means "between cities" whereas the Persian can mean simply "outside a city" for example in rural areas, without actually going from one city to another.

"nonurban" is a simple way of saying "not city"...this one may be better for the Persian context.

"suburban" usually means limited to the residential areas around a city, so it is not really good here.

"interstate" indicates traffic/commerce between states and in the USA this has regulatory/legal/commercial implications which are not relevant here.

agree  Ali Fazel: "intercity" means "between cities": This is exactly what is meant by the Farsi term. 'the Persian can mean simply "outside a city": This is certainly not the case in the context of transportation
