The reporting of surface conditions on a gravel runway is more difficult than it is for a paved runway. In the case of gravel runways, it is impossible to remove all the winter contaminants from the gravel surface. In many northern sites, the common practice is to prepare a solid snow-compacted base on top of the gravel whereby the compacted snow becomes the operational surface for winter operations. 2, record 1, English, - gravel%20runway

Faire des comptes rendus de la surface d'une piste en gravier est plus difficile que pour une piste en dur. Dans le cas des pistes en gravier, il est impossible d'enlever tous les contaminants de la surface en gravier. À de nombreux endroits dans le nord, une façon courante de faire consiste à préparer une base solide de neige durcie recouvrant le gravier de manière à ce que la neige durcie devienne la surface véritablement utilisée pendant les opérations hivernales. 4, record 1, French, - piste%20en%20gravier

In current usage, "road" is applied as a general term for all broad main ways that have a smoothed or paved surface. A road in a city is usually called a "street. "The English word "route" is more specific than "road. "It usually refers to an indirect way of reaching a certain point or to a course taken to reach a destination, thus a "route" can include many roads. Vehicular ways of secondary importance in rural areas are often called "roads, "while those of primary importance are called "highways. " 1, record 6, English, - road
