Would a frozen road that has been gritted freeze again?
Short answer yes. Long answer - The salt lowers the temperature at which the mixture freezes. It the temperature were to drop below this the road would freeze again. This temperature varies depending on the concentration of salt. Also if the grit on the road wasn't topped up, it would become diluted and so the temperature required to freeze the road would rise meaning the grit loses it's effectiveness.
