unpaved road
Gravel country lane
An unpaved road lacks a hard surface like asphalt or concrete, instead consisting of dirt, gravel, or crushed stone.
Such roads are common in rural areas and developing regions: The unpaved road turned to mud after the rain.
They require slower speeds and may become impassable in bad weather.
