Although salt is satisfactory as a means of improving skid resistance, it also causes problems, such as damage to concrete structures, increased corrosion on vehicles and roadside structures of steel, damage to trees and other vegetation, especially in municipalities as well as dirtiness. Salt as a de-icing method is therefore being questioned more and more by road users, the general public and politicians. For this reason, the Ministry of Transport and Communications commissioned the Swedish National Road Administration, the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and the Swedish Road and Traffic Research Institute (VTI) to draw up a detailed research program aimed at reducing the harmful effects of salt in winter road maintenance. The report describes the research program.
