A self-cleaning assembly employing a gap filler for a rail on the ground which guides or in which there runs rollers or wheels with lugs housed in a groove so as to lie flush with or protrude only slightly from the ground and which has a gap on the side of the rail corresponding to the passage of the lug. A filling substance is placed in the gap outside of the dynamic footprint of the lug and at least partially lines the gap, at least partially filling it. The filling material has properties of compressibility and is positioned in such a way that under all normal conditions of use or normal environmental conditions, the gap remains filled outside of the dynamic footprint of the lug.

The invention claimed is: 1. A self-cleaning assembly for one of a ground-level guide-rail (2) or rolling rail (1) carrying one of rollers or wheels with flanges (15) of a terrestrial vehicle, the rail being fitted into a recess (4) formed in a solid base (5), and being mounted and held in the recess (4) one of flush with the ground or only slightly protruding above ground level and having gaps (12) on at least one side of the rail that corresponds to the passage of the flanges,wherein a lining material (14) is arranged in the gaps (12) outside a dynamic engagement area of the flanges and at least partially lines the gaps, at least partially filling the gaps, the lining material (14) having compressibility properties and being arranged so that under all normal conditions of use or environmental conditions, the lining material (14) maintains the filling of the gaps outside the dynamic engagement area of the flanges (15) of the rollers or wheels moving along the rail; anda lining (13) formed of the lining material (14) opens in a V-shape toward a top and grips the rail (2) at least in a middle area, delimiting on either side of the rail (2), in each case, an area (29, 30) that slopes down toward the rail followed by a longitudinal groove (31, 32).
