Is there some sort of seed I can use next to the road?   They use salt
during the winter and it kills the grass.  However, there are some weeds
that survive nicely.  So, I'm wondering if there is a grass that will do
the same.

Around here many people build a triangular wall from slats of wood and
plastic. Not real pretty but saves the grass.

If you're looking for traditional turf grass, then tall fescue,
creeping fescue, and bermuda grass are among the most salt tolerant.
Blue grass is more adversely affected by salt.
