road spikes
Police pursuit enders
Road spikes are metal strips with sharp points designed to puncture vehicle tires, used by police to stop fleeing cars or by security to control access points.
They typically lie flat when approached from the authorized direction but pierce tires from the other side: Officers deployed road spikes ahead of the chase.
Also called spike strips or tire deflation devices.
