Although snow and ice remain unchanged, significant advancements in technology have been made to keep roadways safe. For many years, “salt trucks” spread traditional rock salt and sand onto pavement surfaces to combat dangerous conditions. However, since the 1990s, many parts of the U.S. have transitioned to spraying liquid salt instead of simply spreading it. Why the switch? Learn why liquid brine deserves recognition as an effective ice-fighter.
