Those are potholes.
A pothole is a hole in a road surface that results from gradual damage caused by traffic and/or weather (Cambridge dictionary).
You may have noticed, we can say that those are holes in the road (because a pothole is still a hole). But if you say
pothole, you are just more specific and it may be more natural to say it like that.

True, this is the first word most native speakers would think of. However, it may be worth noting that, when we think of potholes, we usually imagine them on some kind of asphalt or pavement (like this one). Nevertheless, I supposed I'd still use pothole to describe the holes in the OP's image.

They could be referred to as ruts if they were long and narrow and preferably caused by wheels.
a deep, narrow mark made in soft ground especially by a wheel (Cambridge dictionary).
Pothole also works as shown by Enguroo's answer:

Full disclosure, the pothole section is a copy and paste from Enguroo's answer because I find it valid but lacking Rut as an option. I know that the potholes in the OP's image arent ruts but their description could be intending something different.
