True, but native roads were unpaved dirt tracks or corduroy roads made of logs, so they didn't develop permanent ruts.

I'll bet those would shake your teeth loose if you had to hurry for some reason. That road system was apparently much more extensive than people generally think. They've found remnants all over the place.
Trade would have demanded quick, easy, pretty much all-weather travel paths. Not that anybody really wants to travel through miles of forest in the snow in a wagon full of stuff for sale, though.
