It is a dirt road that when driven over too fast people hit the breaks hard and the tires "skip" over the road and makes waves!

Curious Commissioner Answered:

Actually, it doesn't have to be dirt, it can be gravel or even a blacktop road. Areas that are washboarded are usually at intersections. They are caused by drivers waiting until the last minute to use their brakes, the wheels bounce and impact the road. Excessive acceleration will also cause this. Some stop intersections don't have this problem, others have it all the time-it is directly dependent on the type of drivers approaching and leaving the intersecetion.
