I saw this sign in Northern Ohio, USA along Lake Erie, it is so damn true.

@HumanEarth That is all of Ohio has is salt trucks! The dump plow trucks are loaded with tons of it and they dump as they plow. Tears up the roads and cars terribly and the run off makes the road shoulders soft. They need to go back to using ash/cinders.

My area we red granite, red granite/salt mix depending on temperatures

@HumanEarth That makes more sense than just dumping salt. I hate salt. using cinders gives immediate tire tractions too unlike salt making slush and ice.

Southern Wisconsin using all salt
