Yes they put tons of salt on the road in winter.  It rots everything in sight.

IMHO it is also counterproductive as far as road safety is concerned as 
poeple in cars assume that there is no ice, and then blame 'black ice' when 
they go through the hedge because they were surprised to find ice in an 
ambient temperature below zero.  Of course on a bike, one has to drive 
properly because crashing isn't an acceptable option.
