Oily roads refer to road surfaces that have become slick due to the presence of oil or other lubricants. This can occur from vehicle leaks, spills, or improper disposal of oil. When rain or moisture mixes with the oil, it creates a slippery layer that can be hazardous for vehicles and pedestrians. The presence of oil on roads can lead to increased accidents, especially during wet conditions. Drivers may experience reduced traction, making it difficult to control their vehicles. Regular maintenance and prompt cleanup of spills are essential to ensure road safety and minimize risks associated with oily roads.
