Connecticut this year moved to salt-only on State Highways. Newspaper said it's at the same rate of salt per mile that they used to use in the salt / sand mix. Although we didn't get snow until late in the season...have to say it went better then I thought. Benefit to the state is no handling the sand in the first place, and not having to sweep the highways / suck the storm basins as often, and the Environmentalists prefer just salt contaimination in the water instead of silt too. Town Roads are still salt / sand. Can't see salt only on a lot of those, since many don't see a lot of traffic. Bad winter once in a while, I can remember hard-packed snow across the town roads for 6+ weeks 'cause it never got warm enough for the salt to kick in. Used to be you had to keep salt mixed with the sand piles outside, otherwise they'd freeze up in winter. But you're not supposed to store salt or sand/salt mix outside anymore so the salt doesn't leach into the ground water.
