Can riding a moped on road markings be dangerous?

Can riding a moped on road markings be dangerous?
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes, road markings may be slippery regardless of weather conditions.

Yes. The paint used for horizontal road markings, such as the pedestrian crossing and cycle crossing visible in the picture, has significantly less grip than the road surface. For this reason, particularly in the rain, riding over such markings on a moped or other two-wheeled vehicle creates a high risk of skidding and losing control of the vehicle.
