Whitish in color? Most likely it is from the DOT laying down the chemical that they use to pre-treat the highways when there is a chance of freezing precipiation.
Bingo! You are probably noticing them mostly on bridges and places that have a tendency to freeze!

From what I've read this stuff is water/precip. activated.
Yep .. i bet that's it.. I do notice in places where there would be more likely for freezing conditions..

Geez more chemicals for us to deal with.. I haven't seen a truck yet putting it down. They must wait till were all off the roads..

I think they can put it down 24 hours before precip. is expected. They probably do it late at night.

Have you seen the DOT plow trucks with the whitish tank on the back? I think that's the stuff.
