They're counters
They use them to see how much traffic travels there, so they know how much salt to pour. If there aren't enough cars to ruin they won't salt the road. |

Or traffic study for adding a light or stop sign. I suppose they can judge speed too.

The state has used these counters for decades. Many times there will be one hose that goes across the road and another that only goes on one side. This way traffic can be counted in both directions.

It's classified. I would drop your line of inquiry immediately unless you really want to see a MRAP up close. You've been warned.

I thought these were also used to judge repaving priorities?

They paved a road near my house and now are digging into it to change he gas line Standard procedure. The heavy equipment used in paving vibrates the gas lines and causes leaks, which means they then have to dig up the lines, repair, and patch. It's "cost prohibitive" to install new lines prior to paving because they don't always leak. They paved my street in May and have come back 3 times to fix things - they even graded the crown improperly and the road started draining into someone's driveway and yard. I can't imagine how much road salt that guy will wind up with. Frikkin rocket science.

Only MORONS who don't know how to drive like road salt.
I don't have proof, but I wouldn't put it past our government assholes and car dealer, insurance, and lawyer buddies to be using road salt to force people to upgrade to newer cars. Corruption goes way past presidential elections. |

Brand new freightliner, one year later there's serious rust that needs work, not just a little sanding and repainting/sealing. That's with real underbody paint used. We're looking at spray on stuff and also options for underbody washing on a daily or weekly basis. It may come down to pulling trucks off the road one per day and having the mechanics suit up and hose it down in the garage. Suit up because they're going to have to be practicaly underneath it to do the job right and will get the water and road crud all over themselves. |

Fluid Film works. They use it in the marine world.
Why not power wash the undercarriage and apply Fluid Film to a few trucks and test it? |

If it's below freezing a lot of the do-it-yourself car wash places have to leave their line pressurized to prevent them from freezing. A lot of them use hot water, too.
It's not full blast but it's enough to take the salt off. If it's a wet day where there's a lot of spray from the road etc I'll stop in and wash the truck off on my way home. Doesn't work at all stations but it's a lot of em. If it's near zero out, it doesn't work because the spray freezes and forms an ice layer. Which is kind of cool and somewhat protective. |

I think it was last year, I went to a do it yourself car wash, washed my truck(it was like 20 degrees out). Turned my whole jeep into a block of ice. Froze the door handle solid. To get it open, I poured hot water from their keurig machine onto the door handle. Then it froze open  so the door wouldn't latch closed....
I drove home with solid ice on all of my windows, including the windshield, and had to hold my driver door closed with my left hand. It wasn't closed because it wasn't latched, I was just holding on to it  . I had about a 20 minute drive also.....oh and my jeep was manual transmission.
I like to challenge myself on a daily basis

 You know you'll have it wrong, its the arresting wire locations where they need to land the black tom cats
and other short runway aircraft to confiscate when that beast gets elected
