Sign W 134, Slippery Road, should be used to warn that the danger of vehicles skidding is greater than normal, usually due to the skid resistance of the surfacing being low. The degree of danger cannot be defined as it depends on the skid resistance, speed of traffic, superelevation and other factors. The Road Authority will need to judge when to display this sign. However, it should not be over-used, or its credibility would be undermined.
