Who was the inventor of putting salt on ice roads?
No one really invented it. For many years, salt has been known to lower the freezing point of water. This happens when the salt's ions dissociate in water. The act of lowering a freezing point (or raising a boiling point) is called water's colligative property. Generally speaking, the more ions in solution, the lower temperature at which water will freeze. The salt used on roads is usually calcium chloride (CaCl2).
What is the science of salting and sanding roads?
I believe what you are asking is why they salt and/or sand roads. The answer to this, is when it snows, rains, sleets or hails badly, the road becomes slick, so the salt/sand is meant to make it a bit rougher, so the cars don't skid.

What does the A road stand for on maps?
In Britain roads are classified as Motorways, A & B roads & unclassified. Before the motorways were built A roads were the major Trunk roads which connected towns & cities in UK.
What is the property of matter where it changes volume when it changes temperature?
The property of solids in which they enlarge when warmed is thermal expansion. The opposite, shrinking when cooled, is thermal contraction. This property greatly effects how bridges, sidewalks, and concrete roads are made. They all have "expansion gaps," gaps between sections that allow the sections to expand in the heat of summer. Without those, the concrete would break and the bridges would warp and bend.
Why do we salt roads?
Salt will reduce the freezing point of water to below 32ºF, thus making it less likely to have slippery roads when temperatures are near the freezing point. This happens because of the colligative property of freezing point depression.

When a town annexes property are they responsible for maintaining the roads that have been maintained by private property owners in the past?

Why is salt is put on the roads on icy weather?
This is called a colligative property. Salt lowers the freezing point of water. Why? Because the molecules (formula units) of the salt interfere with the formation of ice crystals by getting in their way. The more salt, the lower will be the freezing point.
