The specialty here is a clay and gravel road which develops the usual tire lanes separated by gravel ridges. However, when it gets wet, and you try to move over, you wind up with high drag on one side, and barely enough traction to keep straight with high slip angles. The real hazard, though, is the deer. in the winter (6 months) snow is only cleared into ditches - towns and cities just try to keep it smooth, with limited success. It is usually cold enough for good traction.
