Damaged roads and exposed metal pose danger to vehicles

I’ve found many places where the metallic joints in between roads and parking areas are fully damaged, as shown in the photograph. Many of the metal pieces jutting out of the road are like nails, which can damage the tyres of vehicles.

This picture was taken near the Abu Dhabi Mall parking area near one of the banks. Maintenance and rectification is required in order for safe driving. I hope the concerned authorities look into this matter and do the needful. We always appreciate the good roads, bridges, tunnels and bridges built by the authorities.
