Haven't found your term exactly but for what it's worth the granddictionnaire.com gives the following:
piste latérale à la voie = roadbed shoulder

Try a little punctuation, with an extra comma :
Terrassement pour création de routes, avec ou sans enrobés*,* et pistes
The French clearly distinguish routes" from "pistes". The difference in English is less clear - earth roads, gravel roads, metalled roads, unsealed roads, etc. can all be "pistes".
A/c to one of my clients :Feeder road/track (unclassified). A feeder road ranks below asphalt roads and 2nd class earth roads (in the African context).
