Warning sign
Slippery when wet sign
This warning sign shows a vehicle leaving wavy skid marks and means the road ahead can be slippery, particularly in rain, snow, or ice. Bridges and overpasses freeze before the open road does.
When you see it
- ◆ Reduce speed and avoid hard braking, steering, or acceleration.
- ◆ Increase your following distance well beyond the usual amount.
- ◆ Remember that bridges and ramps ice over first in cold weather.
