This picture shows a glaring example of but one of the many manholes that are not aligned with the road surface, not only in secondary roads but also in major thoroughfares.

One presumes that this is due either to road subsidence or lack of quality control.

Whatever the cause, this blot on the road surface used by thousands of vehicles daily has been there for several weeks, and one is prompted to ask: does anybody care that this is dangerous and a driver's scourge?

This picture was taken on June 12 by the roundabout just off the VC Service Station, as one drives from Naxxar towards San Ġwann.
