Unsealed road, also known as a dirt road, unimproved road, gravel road, or earth road, refers to a type of road that is not paved or surfaced. It is often used in rural or remote areas due to the lower cost of construction and maintenance compared to sealed roads. Other synonyms for unsealed road include unpaved road, backroad, fire trail, sand road, and logging road. While unsealed roads can offer a more natural and scenic journey, they can also present challenges such as dust, potholes, and mud in wet weather. Some unsealed roads may require a 4WD vehicle to safely navigate, and caution should always be exercised when driving on them.
