Slippery Road Sign

This sign is often found on slippery roads.

What it means

Slippery road signs are placed in areas where a slippery condition might exist. The slippery condition may be due to rain or ice, and drivers are warned to slow down appropriately. Be careful not to turn or change lanes suddenly, or brake too hard. You should slow down for turns, and increase the distance between your car and the one ahead.

Heads Up

When you see the sign, do not brake hard or change direction suddenly, if you need to negotiate a sharp turn, do it slowly.
When the pavement is wet, reduce your speed. Increase the distance between your car and the one ahead.
The slippery road sign is posted in areas that are known to be slippery or icy in poor weather conditions.
