A sand trap can be:

  • another word for a bunker in the game of golf.
  • a short rail siding covered in sand designed to stop runaway railway wagons.
  • another word for a gravel bed (the term used by the FIA) for those with fine gravel or sand filled hollows beside some motor racing tracks that should stopp competitors as soon as possible after leaving the actual course by accident. Sand traps/gravel beds are ironically also called "kitty litter". Quote: KITTY LITTER This term describes two things: the absorbent powder used to soak up fluid spills on the track (often real kitty litter) and the gravel runoff areas on the outside of many road course turns that help slow cars that go off the track.
