why does the road make a reflection when your at a distance but when your up close it doesn’t?

Like when you watch the movies of the guys just walking down a stretch of road towards the camera you see a bit of reflection on the road. But when your up close it stops. How does that happen? I’ve seen it happen on tar and concrete and I still don’t understand

Essentially it has to do with how light bounces off surfaces, and how your eyes process this information, so in gamer terms, your eyes have a specific draw distance it can render, afterwhich, the angle of which you see the surface at that distance makes most flat surfaces bounce that light towards you, making your eyes believe that there is a reflection there [idk if that makes sense, but that is how it was explained to me]
