The pair of guide ways 10 are arranged so that the spacing therebetween becomes narrow as the end on the road side is advanced from the road side, and arranged so that the spacing therebetween becomes narrower as the end on the track side is advanced from the track side. Inner side surfaces of the pair of guide ways 10 are formed of inclined surfaces in the inwardly descending direction over the entire length.
