I only now, after having lived for many years in the UK, I realise that the definition of gravel is wider than the equivalent of the German Splitt. I thought them equivalent.
Looking it up in the English Wikipedia I found contradictory information. In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravel_road "gravel" is "crushed stone" and raoughly aequivalent to the German Splitt But in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravel "gravel" is more generic and can, for example, also be pebbles of different sizes.
