Travelling in remote areas in northern Australia is not advisable during the wet season ( November to April ), as heavy tropical downpours can quickly make dirt roads impassable.

During the wet seasons these roads typically become impassable.

When wet, the oil tends to float to the surface of the roads making them very slippery and dangerous.

In wet and cold climates, reinforced concrete for roads, bridges, parking structures and other structures that may be exposed to deicing salt may benefit from use of epoxy-coated, hot dip galvanised or stainless steel rebar, although good design and a well-chosen cement mix may provide sufficient protection for many applications.

Before its invention, wet country roads became muck and were often nearly impassable.

The use of the King Road Drag kept rural roads solid, even when wet, which made them passable all the time.

Sledges were useful not only in winter but can be drawn over wet fields, muddy roads, and even hard ground, if one helps them along by greasing the blades with oil or alternatively wetting them with water ; in cold weather the water will freeze to ice and they glide along more smoothly with less effort to pull them.

Barbarossa was initially scheduled for May, at the beginning of the Russian spring, but was postponed until June because unseasonably wet weather made the roads impassable for armour ( not because of the German invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece in April, as is commonly supposed ).

The car's wheelbase was the shortest of any Anglia, but the front and rear track were increased to, and cornering on dry roads involved a degree of understeer: the steering took just two turns between locks, making the car responsive and easy to place on the road, although on wet roads it was too easy to make the tail slide out.

"... the new barracks ..... are little more than 300 yards horizontally from the beach ..... and about above high-water mark, but in order to communicate with them from the centre of town, on horseback the distance is nearly a mile and a half and to walk it about three-quarters of a mile, and all the roads unavoidably pass over ground more than above the barracks, besides the footpaths are so steep and chalky that a number of accidents will unavoidably happen during the wet weather and more especially after floods.

* Most road vehicles with regenerative braking only have power on some wheels ( as in a two-wheel drive car ) and regenerative braking power only applies to such wheels because they are the only wheels linked to the drive motor, so in order to provide controlled braking under difficult conditions ( such as in wet roads ) friction based braking is necessary on the other wheels.

Aquaplaning does not present a problem for bicycles due to their narrower width, higher pressure, lower speed, and circular cross section ( due to the need to lean the bicycle in turns ), the bicycle tyre can penetrate the water layer to contact the road much more easily ; in practice, grooved bicycle tyres do not outperform slick tyres on wet roads.

Crosswinds can also be a difficulty when traveling on wet or slippery roads ( snow, ice, standing water, etc.
