cracked pavement
Fractured street surface
Cracked pavement is a road or sidewalk surface that has developed fissures from age, weather, or heavy use.
The phrase describes infrastructure in disrepair—potholes forming, weeds pushing through gaps: She tripped on the cracked pavement outside the old warehouse.
It often signals neglect or urban decay.
