Don’t forget about the obvious ones.
1) grease trap at stop lights / signs
2) man-hole covers (little braking traction followed by pavement with a massive amount of traction compared)
3) Asphalt tar that’s carried past the new section of roads/highways. Last summer here there was a highway off-ramp, downhill, steep 90 at the end, and I felt a definite slide in the middle of the curve on a hot day from tar passed along from the new highway pavement from car tires. The turn at the bottom was full of it.
