I was curious is there someplace they don't use salt or slat spray.

As I mentioned, Arizona uses some other chemicals, but these are more expensive, and only work at certain temperatures. On one scenic road, through Oak Creek Canyon south of Flagstaff to Sedona, a special chemical is used to keep salt run-off out of the Creek (salt kills stuff!). I can't remember what it was, though. Deer and elk that stay for the winter love to get out on the Interstate to lick up the salt. That's also hard on sheet metal!
You may want to do a search for 'road ice chemicals'.
