It is difficult to walk on an icy road, because your feet keep slipping on the ice.
It is difficult to walk on a slippery road because the friction between your shoes and the road is compromised. When you stand, its not so much an issue, as most or all of the force vector from your body is pointing down. When you walk, however, there is a horizontal component of the force vector, which is what is accelerating you in a horizontal direction. Since the road is slippery, the coefficient of friction between your shoes and the road is less, causing the tendency to slip or fall.
Burnish it with a red pad at low speed and it will not be slippery anymore
There may not be enough friction between your feet and the floor. You need friction to be able to exert a force against the floor, to balance yourself and move in the direction you desire.
You will need a much longer thinking distance on a slippery road because there is the possibility of a long area of no control and your control will have to be slow so as not to over react and lose control.
What i think is, as there is less friction on a muddy road it is difficult to walk on it. Water has less friction, that is why usually we see cautions warning us not to walk on wet floor as we'll slip and fall, so when soil is in contact with water it reduces the friction of soil.

Well you do make sense..............well this because when you are to walk on a smooth road ,you fall.That's because the friction is less beetween your foot and road and thus there is no grip.
It may be slippery.
the ground is slippery and there is no friction
No, "slippery" is not a preposition. It is an adjective that describes something having a surface that is difficult to grip or walk on due to being smooth, wet, or polished.
This spot is prone to being slippery with out warning. BE CAREFULL!
A dry road is most slippery right after it starts raining. Of course any road is most slippery when it is covered in ice.
yes
the ground is soggy
Because the pointy rocks stap your feet
Oily road....
