Because of its wetness
some times because there is oil on the road from cars driving on them and when it gets wet it becomes slippery.
6 to 8 seconds
Definitely because it's wet so, we must take an extra careful in driving a wet road.
A warning sign indicating that the road is slippery when wet typically features a graphic of a car skidding or losing traction on a wet surface. The sign is often yellow, signaling caution, and may include text stating "Slippery When Wet." It serves to alert drivers to reduce speed and exercise caution during wet weather conditions to prevent accidents.

A wet floor can be more slippery than an icy road as water reduces friction between the surface and our shoes, making it easier to lose traction and slip.
"Road Grime" builds up, it is the result of exhaust, tire wear, oil leaks... It can make the road slippery and treacherous, especially when the road is also wet. This is why the first minutes of a rainstorm are particularly dangerous -- the rain is washing the grime away, but for a short while it is making it wet and slippery. Road cleaning helps control this.
When the road is wet, water creates a thin film that reduces the friction between the tires and the pavement. This can lead to hydroplaning, where tires lose contact with the road surface, making it difficult for vehicles to grip and control. Additionally, dirt, oil, and other contaminants can be washed onto the road, further decreasing traction. Together, these factors contribute to the slippery conditions experienced on wet roads.
Usually, on a frosty morning, with wet pavements freezing during the night.

yes cement road surfaces are more slippery when wet then asfault yes the worst would be if it is covered by a film of liquid sufficient enough to reduce the coefficient ecstatic friction between the tyre and the road to essentially zero, but not so deep as to introduce a new source of friction
