And in Hunan Province, one official is trying to make winter road travel safer. In Longhui County, cinders are being used instead of salt to get rid of ice from area roadways.

[Peng Shilin, Transport Official]:
"The road is very slippery after the rain water was frozen on the surface. It is better to spread cinders instead of salt. It could turn out to be a good thing so that roads are safe in the winter."

The cinders turned out to be very effective as vehicles passing through the road section no longer skid.
