Nope. It increasing friction so it is easier to pass icy roads

Why it is not wise to reduce friction always?
Well if you did not have friction you would fall over when you walked. Just think of what it is like trying to walk in ice (which has very low friction).
What are three ways to increase friction on wet or icy roads?
Either by using some sort of material like salt, sand, or gravel or by putting on some chemical such as Mag Chloride which melts the ice
What places need friction?
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.
What as an example of increasing friction intentionally?
assuming that you're asking a multiple choice question, waxing skis reduces friction so that you can move faster on the snow. grease and oil are used as lubricants. they reduce friction in most instances. throwing sand on an icy driveway would increase friction between a cars tires and the ice. a good rule of thumb is that most liquids work as lubricants, most gritty or solid stuff works to increase friction, and powder can do either.
Does ice has a higher coefficient of friction than rubber does?
Rubber has more friction than an ice cube. Ice has almost no friction what so ever.
Why does sand on ice keep you from slipping?
because sand makes friction from the ice
How can you not lessen friction?
by pouring sand on ice
Why is sand put on ice?
its not Well, its not "generally" put on ice, but when it IS used its put down to suppposedly increase traction and reduce slipping on sidewalks and roads.
Does sand affect melting points?
I assume you mean of ice. No. It only provides traction (more friction) on ice.
When driving on a slippery surface such as snow or ice you should?
Put some sand on it to increase friction!
Why it is not wise to reduce friction always?
Well if you did not have friction you would fall over when you walked. Just think of what it is like trying to walk in ice (which has very low friction).
How could you increase the friction on an iced covered sidewalk or icy road?
Pour sand over the ice.
What are three ways to increase friction on wet or icy roads?
Either by using some sort of material like salt, sand, or gravel or by putting on some chemical such as Mag Chloride which melts the ice
Does putting ice on a cut stop the bleeding?
No. It will reduce swelling only. Pressure will stop bleeding.

What are four substances that can reduce traction between a vehicle's tires and the roadway?
Water, ice, snow, sand.
How could you increase friction on an icy road?
you could place salt on the icy areas to increase friction because the ice would began to melt.
