What is a "rut"?
A rut is a long, narrow groove or mark that forms in a road or path due to repeated pressure, often from vehicles. It happens when the surface wears down over time, creating visible tracks in the ground. Ruts are most commonly seen on dirt or gravel roads, but they can also appear on paved roads if the traffic is heavy enough. Ruts can make driving uncomfortable and potentially dangerous, as they can cause vehicles to go off track or get stuck. Fixing ruts usually involves leveling the surface and adding new material to smooth out the road.
Example
