muddy roads
Rain-soaked travel routes
Roads covered with mud, typically from rain mixing with unpaved or poorly drained surfaces.
Muddy roads slow travel, trap vehicles, and were a constant obstacle before widespread paving: The muddy roads made the journey take twice as long.
The phrase often evokes rural settings or difficult conditions.
