Some roadway surfaces are more slippery during certain times or at certain places. Which of the following are more likely to be slippery on cold, wet days?

Roundabouts and traffic circles.
Intersections.
Roads in shady areas.
Concrete roads.
Explanation

On cold, wet days, roads in shaded areas are often the first to become icy and the last to dry. These spots get less sunlight, making them more prone to staying wet or freezing. Bridges and overpasses can also be especially slippery, even if the rest of the roadway appears clear, because they lose heat more quickly. Always slow down at the first sign of rain, snow, or icy conditions, as your tires won’t grip the road as well.
