Roads get snowy and icy this time of year, that's why we have plows, deicer and sanders to make those roads drivable.
But for one neighborhood just south of Newman Lake, neighbors claim those roads aren't treated nearly as much as they should be.
Although the hill on Campbell Rd is sanded and plowed now, neighbors say that's not normally the case.
It's what firefighters call no man's land, a place unserved by fire crews.
But for Carolyn Gallion... It's home.
"Wilderness... It's really beautiful out here," Gallion said.
Just 15 minutes north of the Pines exit in Spokane Valley, the roads go from paved to primitive.... to unpredictable.
"It turns into ice," she said.
Barely plowed or sanded, Campbell Rd becomes an ice rink.
"Awful. The worst. That little hill right there... We can't even get up it," she said.
The problem comes as cars try to travel on one steep hill.
