The idea of using ”tracked” roads is at least 2000 years old. Ancient civilisations realised that wheeled vehicles ran more efficiently and needed less maintenance if they were guided using grooves cut into the stone blocks of roads. Quarries in Ancient Greece, Malta and the Roman Empire used cut stone tracks to haul loads pulled by animals.
