PLUS 4 FOR THE BRAND NEW YEAR. TANNER COMING UP. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND WHILE IT WASN'T A WHITE CHRISTMAS FOR MOST OF THE OKLAHOMA, AT LEAST HERE IN THE METRO, A WINTER WEATHER PREPS FOR THE ROADS HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN FULL SWING NEWS. FOUR'S HUNTER LEE SPOKE WITH THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER FOR DISTRICT 3 IN OKLAHOMA COUNTY TO LEARN WHAT'S NEW THIS YEAR TO KEEP DRIVERS SAFE IN THE SNOW AND ICE TENOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER MILES DAVIDSON SAYS THE NEW RESOURCES COMING TO THE STATE COME AFTER MONTHS OF RESEARCH AND A VISIT TO ANOTHER STATE. >> AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT BRIAN AND HOW PROPERLY MAKES THAT GET THAT ON TO THE ROADS.
BUT WE'VE ALSO CONTACTED THE COMPANY FROM UTAH. COURSE, WE'VE GOT MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE WITH SNOW AND ICE AND WE DO. >> DAVIDSON SAYS THE NEW SUBSTANCE FOR ROADS IS STICKY. >> NOT SUGAR BEETS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT IT'S A IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SALT. >> ACTUALLY PAVEMENT COUPLES PRETREAT. THE SONG WAS BOUGHT OVER THE SUMMER BEING STORED HERE. >> KEEPING THE SALT DRY IS ESSENTIAL.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS WE'RE BUILDING A NEW SALT BARN SO WE PUT MORE KEEPING DRY WE CAN DO ARE MIXTURES WITH NOT ONLY SALT SAND. >> HE ALSO SAYS THE NEW SALT PREPS WILL ONLY BE IN LIMITED SPOTS THROUGHOUT DISTRICT 3 TO TEST IT OUT AND SEE IF IT WORKS WELL DURING THE WINTER SEASON. >> I BRIDGES OVERPASSES. ONES THAT AREN'T TRAVELED A LOT. SO WE CAN KIND OF MONITOR THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOSELY. DID NOT HAVE THE TRAFFIC BECAUSE MORE TRAFFIC THAT GOES OVER IT. THE MORE I WAS OUT JUST WASHES BUT IT'S NOT JUST NEW SALT THAT'S BEING INTRODUCED TO DISTRICT. 3 DAVIDSON HAS PLANS FOR THE PAINT STRIPING ON THE ROADS THE STUFF THAT WE DO. >> AND DISTRICT 3 IS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH ON WATERLOO WHERE WE'VE JUST RECENTLY REPAVED.

YOU IT'S CREEPING THE LINES RIGHT? >> HE SAYS IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO REPAVE THE AND IS NOW FOUND A LOCAL COMPANY THAT COMBATS THE LINES BEING SCRAPED OFF IN THE WINTER.
>> ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE IT THROUGH THE PAVEMENT AS WELL OR THROUGH ICE. >> DAVIDSON SAYS THE NEW WINTER WEATHER PREPS ARE ALL FUNDED THROUGH THE STATE'S HIGHWAY FUNDS. AND IF IT ALL GOES WELL THIS YEAR, HE .
