On a two-wheeled moped, why should you take extra care when riding over painted markings at a wet pedestrian crossing?

Correct answer

Because grip can be reduced and the moped can skid.

Wet paint can provide less grip and cause a skid. Reduce speed before the crossing and avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking, while still braking when necessary to avoid danger. Do not swerve suddenly to dodge the stripes or enter pedestrian space. Respect pedestrian priority and signals. Wet roads require care beyond painted areas too; reduced grip is not caused only by incorrect braking.
