Road salt

I see pictures of people's salty cars after a road trip and I was wondering, where are "salty" areas? Would Huntington Beach, CA be considered a salty area? Excuse me if I sound stupid, but I don't understand the whole "road salt" thing.
 
The problem with salt is that it is corrosive. It gets into all the nooks and crannies and causes rust. I associate road salt with areas of the country that have a lot of snow. Around here in MD in the winter time, your car can be white from salt!
 
They use salt to melt ice on roadways during winter in snowy climates. They also use cinder and sand among other things on roadways as well. All of it makes a huge mess.
