Why isn’t the road cleared of snow?

The RRA uses cinders on the roads to improve traction. Entities such as ODOT are able to clear their roadways as they have the equipment, funds, and road base to plow to the surface with salt which accommodates State speed limits up to 70mph respectively. RRA roads would sustain damage if we were to plow and salt in a similar manner due to the effects of freezing and thawing on our road base. Cinders are the most appropriate for our roads and budget. Our speed limit is 25 mph under optimal conditions.
