no i was actually about 20 feet behind and one lane to the left and watched it happen to someone else last year. It literally sprayed up and hit them like 7 or 8 times in sequence. I couldnt believe it. Its lucky that it wasnt very cold at the time

Yeah the thing doesn't work below 20 degrees I believe...some stupid temp that we are well below at least 80% of the winter season it seems like. They spent $2 Million on a bridge de-icing system that DOES NOT WORK below freezing basically and when it does work it just causes accidents because the shit they spray freezes.

that damn thing sprayed my car earlier this winter surpised the shit outa me

LOL I was in the right lane one day when the fuckers popped up and started spraying. It startled me so bad that I swerved all the way over onto the shoulder. I laughed pretty good after it happened. They need to add something to warn you that they are about to pop up.

If it only tends to work on 20 + degree weather, it should be setup that it only is used than. It would work pretty good than in my opinion, since around those temperatures, it's either basically teh beginning or end of winter. And we all know how people drive in the beginning. (Very dumb and into the ditch) They could do that or find a better compound of deicer versus what they are using now.

Either way right now that bridge is set up as a death pit every morning.

its not too bad as the day wears on but every morning theres always an accident

That's prob because ppl around here generally drive like tards... I had some bitch in an impala like 10ft off my bumper yest driving home on main... I was being careful and slowing down ahead of time, so I dont rear end the ppl in front of me, when she passed she gave me this pissed off look...

thats not true at all, even good drivers get into accidents. it doesnt help when every day your going 55-60 across an ice skating rink in the morning. with those odds bad things are bound to happen eventually

They should just salt...

[SPANISH-RICE]

Did they stop salting completly?

I believe salt doesnt work below something like -10? Sanding is the only thing they can do right now(wish they'd do that atleast). Hopefully they will be busy the next couple of days with 20degree weather plowing the snow packed streets...

[SPANISH-RICE]

ive seen very little sand down anywhere in fargo

[STiSchucky]

Its a known fact that Moorheads streets are always more clear than Fargos

i think moorhead roads are shitty.

[STiSchucky]

The road quality is shitty. but the main drags are more clear than fargos.

that's cause that's about all they plow..

I was watching the news a while back, salt doesnt do anything when it's below 0, so there's no point in putting it on...

And yes hjermstad good drivers get in accidents too, but I was saying that I see a lot of ppl that aren't driving near as cautious as they should for the conditions...

QFT. :icon_thumleft:

BTW, that bridge deicing system works when the pavement temp is above 12degrees...wouldn't think it'd be too hard to reach 12degree temp on the interstate...wait its Fargo-Moorhead, every drives 35-40 on the freeway...
