dirt roads
Dusty country lanes
Dirt roads are unpaved roads surfaced with natural earth, gravel, or compacted soil rather than asphalt or concrete.
They're common in rural areas, developing regions, and places with light traffic.
Dirt roads require different maintenance than paved roads—grading rather than repaving—and become muddy or rutted in wet weather.
We drove down a dirt road to reach the cabin.
