English term

wash-away or patches of drift-sand

English to Italian Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping car rentals
Motorists should always reduce speed when approaching a dip or wash-away or patches of drift-sand

È opportuno ridurre la velocità in prossimità di avallamenti o in presenza di cumuli di sabbia sospinti dal vento

Il wash away mi spiazza un po'. Si tratta di sabbia "trasportata dalle acque" per così dire?
Proposed translations (Italian)
4 terreno dissestato a causa di piogge o alluvioni o cumuli di sabbia

terreno dissestato a causa di piogge o alluvioni o cumuli di sabbia

In the context (off-road driving in South Africa, perhaps?), this means parts of the terrain which have been washed away by rain/flood/etc. As for drift sand, you have the idea already.
