Your driving instructor will always seek to provide a learning environment that you are comfortable with. If you are nervous about driving or have never driven before your driving instructor is going to find somewhere quiet to assess your skills and confidence levels.
Progression from quieter areas to more complex traffic is only going to occur at the pace you are comfortable with. The driving instructor at all times will consider your safety as well as their safety.
If you live in a highly built up area and are concerned there are no quieter areas nearby, feel free to schedule a 2 hr driving lesson as this will provide more time to travel to a quieter area. You can discuss your preferences with your instructor after making your initial booking.
