gravel road
Loose stone path
A gravel road is an unpaved road surfaced with loose stones and crushed rock rather than asphalt or concrete.
Gravel roads are common in rural areas where traffic volume doesn't justify paving: The cabin sits at the end of a gravel road.
They require periodic grading to stay smooth.
