Slippery roadHungary
24. Slippery road
A slippery road has reduced tyre grip and can make steering, braking and acceleration less effective. Roads may become slippery because of rain, ice, snow, mud, oil, loose material or other substances on the surface. Drivers should reduce speed, increase their following distance and avoid sudden steering, braking or acceleration. Extra caution is needed in bends, on bridges and wherever the road surface changes unexpectedly.

What can make roads slippery in Hungary?
Rain, ice, snow, mud or other material can reduce grip. A surface can be slippery even when it looks clear, and grip can change within a short distance. Reduce speed and increase following distance for the actual conditions.

How should you drive on a slippery road in Hungary?
Reduce speed early, increase the gap to the vehicle ahead and use smooth steering, braking and acceleration. Do not rely on the posted maximum as a safe target when grip is poor.

Does a slippery-road warning sign in Hungary automatically impose a lower number?
The warning sign highlights a reduced-grip risk; it normally does not itself prescribe a new numerical speed limit. A separate speed-limit sign, temporary restriction or local condition may still apply. Travel below the legal maximum when necessary for safety.
