Road crews spread sand on icy roads to improve traction for vehicles. The sand creates a rough surface that helps tires grip the road, reducing the likelihood of skidding. This method is often used in conjunction with salt, which helps to melt ice, but sand is particularly useful in areas where melting is not feasible or where additional traction is needed. The application is typically done using specialized trucks equipped with spreaders that distribute the sand evenly across the road surface.
