Concrete gives +40% movement speed. Hazard concrete should give a -40% speed increase, thereby slowing your character down.

Why?

I disagree with the suggestion. I always use hazard concrete in front of my rail crossings, to warn me that proceeding could be dangerous. According to your suggestion, my movement speed at rail crossings would be reduced. This would make my rail crossings more dangerous, because it would take me more time to pass the rail crossing, increasing the chance of being hit by a train. That way, your suggestion would make hazard concrete useless for me.

I think for rails this is contra-productive: You want to cross rails as fast as possible.

Hmm...I put the hazard concrete around the rails, but usually not directly under them (can't really see it there anyway!)... So you'd slow down for a sec just before hitting the rails, giving a bit of extra time to see if a train is coming. I kinda like it!

I can find usefulness in a slowing floor piece. If I wanted to implement it, it would be exactly a 'hazard' piece. Not sure I'd want it now that a 'hazard' piece was already introduced. This shows how 'cosmietic' things are needed in basic vanilla.

This mod also reduces speed but only for vehicles:

Works also in 0.14 but needs editing of the info.json.

Bad Idea:
What happens if you surround your base with hazard concrete? Biters would be slowed, and since concrete is neither attacked nor damaged by anything this would make a lot of things too easy!
Also for the train crossing case, since this delays you at a crittical moment. Even though your crossing time does not change if you only build it arround the track, you enter the critical area later and thus have to look further out for the train.
So I dont think this would be helpfull at all.

What about slowing mines?
