Write a detailed description of a depressing scene outside a road ruins with an archway and a gate.

Nearly forgotten and in disrepair, the North Gate sits untended among a cluster of weeds. Thorny vines grow unheeded against its crumbling archway, and the decorative carvings along the sides of the arch have long since eroded to impressionistic ridges and gashes. Deep ruts slicing through the road's surface waylay unwary travelers even in the daylight.
