Be glad if your state uses salt. Oregon and Washington, in the name of protecting salmon and steelhead, use this beet juice extract. All it does it melt the top layer, but then instantly freeze below. You wind up with skating rinks across both states. I'll take salt and it's issues any day

Colorado uses magnesium chloride. It leaves a white film on your windshield & car, kills any vegetation it touches and contaminates ground water.

Still better than beet juice.

For keeping the road liquid until about 25 deg, Then it freezes and you can’t see out of your windshield because it takes a gallon of wiper fluid to clean your windshield and you’re always running out. Did I mention it contaminated ground water? And kills vegetation? Our mountain passes are lined in dead trees, tourists wonder about that. When told it’s the road “salt” they ask why don’t we use regular salt. It would kill trees slower, and cause our cars to rust, but it wouldn’t be adding poison to our water. Using regular sand would be better.

Salt and car rust stopped being a real concern around 2006 in Eu not sure why american cars are so shit.

Yeah. I drive a 15 year old Euro import and I have the stealership check the frame for rust every year, still no issues. And here in PA we're notorious for eating car and truck bodies due to all the salt we use.

If you have any amount of salt on road, find your nearest rustproofing garage. Rustproofing is cheaper than the repair for salt damage.

Some states use sand or cinders. As bad or worse than salt. It's all a scam.

Are you advocating for no road salt? Perhaps you own a bodyshop and carparts empire.
