Salt is probably cheap and if salting saves 1 life it's worth it. Not sure of you winters in Aussie, but here in the Northeast US it gets nasty |

Salt is probably cheap and if salting saves 1 life it's worth it. Not sure of you winters in Aussie, but here in the Northeast US it gets nasty it might save lives, but it costs plenty in corrosion of just about everything, including road beds, bridges, utility lines, and of course, vehicles. Other materials also provide benefit with less impact. Material cost might be more, but total cost is less. |
