It was an oil based asphalt sealer. They use it quite a bit around AZ. Asphalt is sealed to keep the sun from drying out it's more volatile compounds. It keeps the asphalt from drying out and crumbling in the sun.
The sealer isn't slippery. It's actually kind of a gooey, tacky substance. Not dangerous to ride on, but you'll probably need a mild solvent to get the little black spots of sealer off your bike. I hate that stuff.
