Ferret, very interesting, thanks.
You will find the tar snakes here to be quite slippery when it's hot. I'm not sure about when it's wet -- I'm usually not riding then. I truly believe the highway department uses them as a speed deterrent on curvy roads, applying them in regular intervals perpendicular to the direction of travel, regardless of the condition of the road surface. It's unnerving to bank into a curve when your tires are constantly losing their grip.
