Experiment was started in 1961 to melt snow and ice automatically on the on- and off-ramps of F.G.Gardiner Expressway, in Metropolitan Toronto, Canada; experiment was carried out on site under actual traffic conditions; electric heat was generated by iron wire mesh mats embedded under pavement surface using between 20 and 30 v; electricity was turned on and off automatically by temperature and weather detection instruments; results of experiments are described together with maintenance cost data.
