washboard road
Washboarding is the name in North America of the process which results in roads (particularly gravel roads or dirt roads) developing a series of regular bumps with short spacing in the road surface. The result is called a washboard road.
In Australia, Africa and Asia the equivalent terms are road corrugations or corrugated roads.
