Mostly for the same reason real life law enforcement agencies patrol mainly the roads.

More difficult to navigate: Roads are purposely made for travel to be easier. Patrols can cover a wide range easily. Woods on the other hand, would restrict movements, and make patrols more difficult.
More dangerous: If all the bandits or rebels hide in the forests, this is not the best place to be as a government agent.
Nobody important to protect anyway: Good citizens walk the roads. Bandits hide in the woods. Patrols want to protect the citizens, so they protect the roads.

Note however that there could be a specialized unit tasked with patrolling the woods. But they would most likely be smaller and easier to avoid.
