. . .the reason I heard they did not use salt was because Montana is watershed for the Missouri/Mississipi river basin & the other states would sue for polluting their water. They used coal dust for a while, though that then added to air pollution.
Here in Anchorage they formerly mixed "sand" with about 10% to 205% salt so the sand wouldn't freeze. The sand added to air quality problems, so now they use gravel. Windshield places are making a killing. I think the best solution is plowing & making folks responsible for driving responsibly. As if that will happen.
