I skimmed the comments here before reading the article and was curious what a "gore" looked like. After a seconds pause, I decided I should get on with reading the article instead of searching for "highway gore" :)

Fun fact, the the triangular piece in a clothing pattern used to add shape/dimensionality is also called a gore.

I believe it all derives from heraldry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore_(heraldry)

From Old English gār (spear): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gar#Old_English
