Where:
On any road where the surface may become unusually slippery for example, after rain, near sharp bends, on steep descents, or in areas where oil, mud, gravel, or loose sand might collect.

Purpose:
To warn drivers that the section of road ahead has reduced tyre grip, which increases the risk of skidding or losing control.
Slippery conditions can be caused by rain, ice, diesel spills, loose gravel, or worn road surfaces.
The sign helps you prepare to adjust your driving behaviour to maintain control and safety.

Action:
Reduce your speed well before entering the slippery section.
Avoid sudden movements such as harsh braking, sharp steering, or quick acceleration, these can cause your vehicle to skid.
Keep a firm but gentle grip on the steering wheel and increase your following distance to allow for longer stopping distances.
Drive cautiously and remain alert for about the next 2 kilometres or until road conditions improve.
