Yes, but are you aware of the New York State "Clear Road" policy? It is rediculous, but . . . the State requires all attempts be made so any road, any time - can be driven on at normal speeds - regardless of weather.
This has resulted in people suing and blaming the varioius highway departments and governments every time they drive like idiots, slide on some ice, and crash.
There is no end in sight. The way I see it, most people drive at their own perceived risk level. If they come to believe roads are going to be safe all the time, they drive like drooling, blind, one-legged monkeys - even in snowstorms.
In the mean-time, local highway departments throw salt all over (calcium or sodium), kill trees, pollute ground water, rot out cars - all so we can drive 70 MPH on icy roads.
New York tried spreading ground up glass last year as an alternative - and it was quickly dropped. Now they are going to try some beet juice.
Back in 1979, when the new Interstate 88 opened here - due to it having new experimental concrete, no salt was allowed for the first few years. They let it get snow-packed and I loved it. Took some getting used to - but I often drove to work at 75 MPH in my 64 Chevelle SS - on snow with a little sand thrown over it.
