Its because they don't use salt on Alaska roads! They coat the icy roads in sand, which doesn't melt the ice, but adds traction. That's why AK cars are rust free

Thats really smart, and its cheaper then salt too, every state should do this

Not necessarily, some places really need the chemical salt to melt the roads fast - especially large cities where people need to get to work the next day and the roads are frozen over. Rust is the price you pay for efficiency. But since traffic in Alaska is so low density compared to the rest of the US, they can spare the cars with sand

Thats true, does sand melt it way faster or does it just give the tires grip and not absorb the water? When we go to PA, i always see huge buildings just for storing salt which is rlly cool

Sand doesn't melt it at all, it just absorbs melting ice and provides traction. The only thing melting the roads in AK is the sun.
