I think this is a ditch not a gutter - see the diagrams here which show both

Spanish term (edited): cuneta/cuñeta

gutter

The ST should of course read 'cuneta' or 'cuñeta'. Also known in Chile as 'canaleta'.
The equivalent in English is 'gutter' - i.e. the depressed area along the edge of a road where rainwater collects and is fed towards the stormwater drain.

agree Neil Ashby : I think the line after "cunetas superiores", "revestimientos de hormigón de las mismas", indicates they are gutters and not just simple earth ditches.
