Like I said, people will have to learn how to drive in inclement weather.
In some cases, that will mean traveling a lot slower, due to road
conditions. Snow plows, of course, will NOT be banned ;)
The potholes are exacerbated by the corrosive effects of salt, as well as by
freeze-thaw cycles. If anything, lack of salt will decrease the tendency
for potholes to form.
Isn't it amazing how man survived, while driving on non-treated, snow and
ice covered roads, before the advent of all wheel drive, traction control,
and winter tires that actually worked?
But, I'm not going to "hold my breath", in anticipation of a ban on road
salt. It'll probably never happen. But, it sure would be fun if it did!

If we ban salt, then what happens when you have packed snow on your highways
and you get a sudden thaw? That'll be greasy too. And, there'll be pot
holes and water puddles . . .
It may be simpler to do as we do up here. Pay lots of taxes and let them
continually fix the roads and garages. :)
