traçados das estradas
Explanation:
Essa foi difícil. Encontrei um artigo em inglês que usa esse termo em diversos momentos e, a partir dele, pesquisei qual poderia ser o sentido. Assim, encontrei outros artigos, dessa vez em português, que usam a expressão "traçados das estradas".

Exemplo de uso: "O traçado das estradas que cortam grande número de rios e a drenagem lateral nas estradas faz com que as águas cheguem rapidamente à rede de drenagem aumentando a vazão."

Coloquei três exemplos abaixo:

corte e alinhamento do acostamento


Explanation:
Roadside é o acostamento, mesmo quando não tem aquele acostamento bonitinho asfaltado, ainda é chamado de acostamento.

... Despite the steep unstable cliffs and ravines the road was cleverly planned with the road surface based on the solid and conveniently located 630 million year old Cape Granite contour, while the many roadside cuttings were carved out of the more workable Malmesbury series sediments

cortes de pedra (à beira da estrada)


Explanation:
Aparentemente, o termo se refere a uma descrição do Pico de Chapman (Chapman's Peak) na África do Sul. A estrada em questão fica sobre um contorno (contour) de granito. Os cortes de pedra eram feitos nos sedimentos Malmesbury.

Exemplos relacionados:

"Foi tombada como monumento histórico e religioso da cidade pelo Instituto
Estadual do Patrimônio Cultural (INEPAC) em 1984, pois dela eram extraídos pelos
escravos, no século XIX, ** cortes de pedra ** para a construção de ruas e do porto do Rio de Janeiro." - http://www.memoriasocial.pro.br/documentos/Dissertações/Diss...

O complemento "à beira da estrada" está entre parênteses porque talvez não seja necessário, principalmente se "road" já aparece na oração.

Tradução alternativa: recortes de pedra

"Começámos por visitar um pequeno miradouro situado no topo das fragas que nos permite observar toda a imponência dos ** recortes de pedra ** envolvidos pela vegetação, tornando este local num espaço único." - http://1001travels.blogspot.com/2015/07/

Notas:
1) A estrada (Chapman's Peak Drive) estava em fase de construção; portanto, ainda não tinha um acostamento. Acostamento, na verdade, é <em>shoulder</em> em inglês. "Roadside" é "à beira da estrada": https://dictionary.reverso.net/english-portuguese/roadside
2) Segundo o primeiro artigo (acima indicado), a estrada levou sete anos para ser concluída.

disagree  ulissescarvalho: Não necessariamente de pedras, pode ser corte do barranco, da vegetação etc. Está errado.

  -> Oh, well, what can I say? The references are very clear. There was no reason to flag my answer as "wrong". It's perfectly plausible according to the references I presented. It makes total sense.

Reference: The Malmesbury Group + Chapman's Peak Drive

Reference information:
The Malmesbury Group (grey) is one of the oldest deposits in the Western Cape and South Africa. It covers roughly 20 000km2 around the Cape Town area. The stratigraphy of the Malmesbury Group is poorly known due to the Cape Supergroup (light purple) overlying a large extent of it. The Cape Supergroup comprises sandstones, shales and quartzites of the Palaeozoic age. These formations vary in thickness and lie unconformably upon older formations and are overlain unconformably by the basal beds of the Karoo Supergroup (Haughton, 1969). The Cape Peninsula pluton forms the bedrock of the major part of the peninsula but is mostly covered by the Table Mountain sandstone of the Cape Supergroup. Intense folding and faulting has occurred across the Western Cape giving rise to some of the most interesting geological features but also creating many potential rockfall hazards.
(...)

Chapman’s Peak Drive
The geology of Chapman’s Peak Drive comprises interbedded sandstones and siltstones of the Cape Supergroup, nonconformably overlying the granite of the Cape Granite Suite. A number of large faults are present giving rise to highly fractured and disturbed rock masses some of which directly influenced the rockfall mitigation type, an example is a half tunnel that had to be blasted into the mountainside to serve as a rockfall protection measure as well as stabilise the slope.
