    I had noticed over the last five or more years that salted roads appeared to stay wet and shiny even on otherwise dry and sunny days. Wet and shiny also equals slippery! But recently the roads around Devizes, Westbury etc seem not to do this but return to the 'old fashioned' white and dusty state when dry, so improving grip no end! So maybe an experiment, or means of reducing cost?
    Orange ones are faster, but red ones are more comfortable!

    It depends on the humidity in the air - if its high a salted road stays wet because it absorbs moisture, if its low it stays dry.
