cart tracks
Wheeled vehicle impressions
Cart tracks are unpaved rural paths worn into the ground by the repeated passage of wheeled vehicles, typically horse-drawn carts.
They're narrower and rougher than proper roads, often little more than parallel ruts through fields or countryside: We followed the old cart tracks through the meadow.
The term evokes rustic landscapes and pre-automotive travel.
