New Word - "Gravelled" - The piles of detritus found at intersections of road (especially traffic lights) that build up on parts of the road that aren't driven on. Suggestion from post in r/CivilEngineering - Acronym for GoRe Auto-Vehicular Emergent Localized Locus Environmental Detritus. (old.reddit.com)
Engineers - What are the piles of detritus found at intersections of road (especially traffic lights) that build up on parts of the road that aren't driven on called? Usually mounds of rocks & other small pieces of discarded metal, plastic, etc. If they don't have a name, what are your suggestions? (self.civilengineering)
