> Some places realise the damage salt does and don't use it.
As far as I know, Washington has never used salt, even in
the much colder eastern half. I've never understood why
people in the states that use salt tolerate that. Around
here there's a new road treatment that's sprayed on prior
to freezing conditions, and it sticks to the road for several
weeks. It melts the ice as it forms (OK, I know you can't melt
non-existant ice, but you get the idea). Probably not much
good for snowfall, but for condensation ice, like black ice,
it seems to work quite well.
