County crews remove snow from designated County highways through plowing, salting, and sanding. The objective for Snow and Ice Maintenance is to provide the traveling public with the ability to travel on highways at reasonable and prudent speeds within the limitations imposed by the extremes of weather, and within the resources of the Highway Department.

Salt and/or abrasives will be applied on roadways during inclement weather, which will or has caused slippery conditions. Salt will be applied in accordance with the County Policy, "salt use for snow and ice control". Abrasives may be applied to improve vehicular control.

Plowing will begin when the application of salt and/or abrasives are no longer effective due to the accumulation of snow of approximately 1 ½ ". Plowing will be repeated as necessary.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Snow and Ice Maintenance on a County Road, please call 535-2531 for information, or the Town Highway Department where you live.

Winter Tips:
*Snow plowing equipment and sanders operate at approximately 25 mph.
*Approach snowplow equipment with extreme caution.
*Do no leave snow on the roadway or shoulders of roadway after clearing snow from driveway.
*Do not tailgate plow trucks or sanders, and stay back at least 200 feet.
*Park vehicles off roadway and shoulder so plowing can be conducted safely and effectively. If you park on a shoulder, park where plowing has cleared the shoulder.
