Isn't "slippery when wet" just a reminder for people in dry climates ?
When it rains anywhere, the road is always slippery for the first half hour or so because of accumulated car gunk that has to wash off. So if it rains infrequently and briefly, it's not much of an overstatement to flatly say "slippery when wet".

- yencabulator 3y agoIn arid climates, heavily-used roads end up with oily residue on them, and then the first little bit of rain basically makes the road into Spy Hunter[1] oil slicks. The road actually gets less slippery after the first 30 minutes of rain, as the oils get rinsed off. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_Hunter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_Hunter
