I find these metal strips all the time on the side of the road, usually next to the curb. Mostly on major roads, but in neighborhoods too sometimes. They’re about 6-8 inches long, 2 mm wide, and 1/4 mm thick. Appears to be steel, but just low grade steel, not spring steel. Just curious, anybody know what they are?

This thin metal strip was dislodged from under the car and is dragging. I tugged at it and it didn't give. Is it safe to drive until I can get it looked
