QUESTION
Do you sand and salt gravel roads?

ANSWER

No. Gravel roads that become slick are roughed up with a motor grader to provide better traction. In some cases, lime, rock chips, sand, or rock is applied to the surface. Salt on a gravel road causes maintenance problems as the road begins to thaw out, often making conditions worse.
