Pólya's orchard problem is as follows:
"How thick must the trunks of the trees in a regularly spaced circular orchard grow if they are to block completely the view from the center?"

or this earlier MO question. This problem has been well-studied. One crude way to phrase what is known is that, if the trees/disks centered at each lattice point have radius $r$, the furthest distance one can see from the origin is $R \approx 1/r$.
Here is my question. Suppose instead of disks centered on each lattice point, we have a randomly oriented segment (a $1$-dimensional disk) centered on each lattice point, of length $2r$, i.e., of radius $r$.
Q. Is it still the case that the furthest one can see from the origin is expected to be $R=c/r$ for some constant $c$?
Here is an example, with $r=3/8$. The "Polya radius" is about $2.47$, but in this one random instance, visibility extends about $3$ times further, $R \approx 8$:

In $\mathbb{R}^3$, the same question can be asked with now $2$-dimensional randomly oriented disks centered on each lattice point. And of course the question generalizes to $\mathbb{R}^d$.
