    No salt bans in my area at least, but it’s only effective above a certain temperature (around -15°C iirc). On sidewalks/bike roads it’s usually gravel+salt and on roads only salt. An unfortunate side-effect of gravel is that it (a) needs to be swept up in the spring which adds cost and (b) poses a hazard to cyclists once the snow is gone.

      It’s usually automatically swept by the rain, and as a cyclist I don’t find gravel hazardous: I slow down before a bend and that’s pretty much it…
