Slippery wet leaves on bicycle/pedestrian paths are also a health hazard. Had an ugly spill once trying to turn my bicycle on a path with wet leaves, the front tire turned in the direction I wanted but kept sliding straight ahead. Wet leaves don't help automobile traction, either, but at least no one seems to be calling for banning diesel-fume belching street sweeping trucks. Enlightened journalists are only calling for effectively banning economical leaf removal of narrower pathways used by pedestrians and bicyclists.
