Background

Public Works in various locations throughout the state use different approaches to snow and ice control, some opting for salt, others for sand and some for a combination, depending on factors like temperature, traffic volume, and environmental considerations. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) regulations provide specifications for different types and gradations of anti-skid materials for municipal use. The Department of Public Works for the City of Scranton uses anti-skid materials on roads during winter weather events, particularly during periods of extreme cold when salt alone might be ineffective. The primary purpose of using anti-skid sand is to provide traction and improve safety on icy or snow-covered surfaces throughout the municipality.
