In my area we don't just have a problem with ice
We get heavy snow fall, so the sand is incorporated to add grip to our roads, plus it cuts down on the use of salt, and saves maintenance companies plenty of money.

As if all the salt wasn't enough, we get very hot summers too so if you don't keep up on cleaning all that junk off the bottom of your vehicle it just destroys them.
Mud flaps are a must in this area, nobody wants any more bare metal (thanks to all the gravel) exposed to all that salt!
