skid road
A skid road is a path or track made for skidding logs from the forest to a loading area, traditionally created by dragging or pushing logs over it. It can also refer to a run-down or low-income urban area, often associated with high levels of poverty, crime, and homelessness, as in "skid row". The latter usage originated from such paths in logging areas being used by homeless or transient individuals.
