ACFT TOOK OFF IN MARGINAL VFR CONDITIONS ON A PIPELINE PATROL FLT. EN ROUTE, THE PLT ENCOUNTERED DETERIORATING WX CONDITIONS AND EXPERIENCED A ROUGH RUNNING ENG, DUE TO WHAT HE SUSPECTED WAS CARB ICE. HIS ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE ROUGHNESS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE PLT ELECTED TO EXECUTE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING TO A RURAL ROAD. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE PLT ENCOUNTERED POOR BRAKING ACTION AND THE RIGHT WING STRUCK A ROAD SIGN CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. A REVIEW OF THE ICING PROBABILITY CHARTS INDICATED THAT CARB ICING WAS POSSIBLE AT CRUISE OR LOWER POWER SETTINGS.
