<p>[quote user="Semper Vaporo"]I have to say that I don't believe the "ruts' we are discussing were "worn into" the ground by the passage of wheels. </p> <p>The "Grooves" that are present in some of the ancient roadways of the Romans and previous civilizations were produced deliberately, either by cutting square channels in solid stone or by placing squared rock faces in a line with a gap to opposing squared rock faces to produce the "groove".[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">What was the purpose of the deliberately produced grooves in the roads that you describe?</span></p>
