slippery road
Icy driving surface
A slippery road is one with reduced traction due to rain, ice, oil, or other conditions that make vehicles prone to skidding.
The phrase appears on warning signs and in weather advisories: Slippery road ahead.
It also serves as a common driving hazard reference: We took it slow because of the slippery roads.
