For example anti-icing procedures can be implemented before ice has a chance to form and snow clearance can be initiated before a road closes. These preventative measures have been shown to dramatically reduce the number of accidents by limiting (or eliminating) the time a road is "unsafe".

Reduce Amount of Salt Required to Treat Roads
Less salt is required to prevent ice forming than to thaw existing ice. So by using Pelmorex Road Weather Service in your maintenance decision process, preventative salting can be better implemented. Case studies have shown that this technology can reduce salt requirements by more than 20% while improving road safety and increasing accessibility. And of course less salt usage is environmentally advantageous, means less vehicle corrosion and is economically beneficial to maintenance companies.
