Road salt can speed corrosion on exposed metal, including seams, brake and fuel lines, and suspension parts. Summerside manages its own roads; the province says salt is used on high-traffic highways, while sand is spread on other roads for traction. Compare local rust-proofing services and ask what areas their treatment covers.
