"Then let them pay our taxes." Ulan-Ude authorities suggested residents sand their roads themselves.

For this they installed 100 boxes along the highways. Authorities promised to fill the boxes with sand by the end of the week.

"If icy roads develop, drivers and pedestrians will have the ability to quickly manually sprinkle sand on the necessary areas," сообщили at the Improvement Plant.

The boxes will be placed near dangerous inclines and declines in the road. During snowfalls, road crews will also remove sand from the boxes to fill hazardous areas, including pedestrian areas.

People notedThat the idea wasn't bad, and they'd probably soon "offer to lay the asphalt themselves, saying, 'We left the paver there for you.'" "Then let them pay our taxes," the city residents advised the officials.
