SNOW AND ICE CONTROL: GUIDELINES FOR MATERIALS AND METHODS

This report provides guidelines for selecting roadway snow and ice control strategies and tactics for a wide range of winter maintenance operating conditions. These guidelines apply to highways, roads, streets, and other paved surfaces that carry motor vehicles--under state or local jurisdictions. The guidelines will assist winter maintenance personnel in selecting the appropriate level-of-service (LOS)-driven roadway snow and ice control operations and will help effectively manage snow and ice control resources. The report is a useful resource for state and local highway agency personnel and others involved in snow and ice control. The report contains two attachments: (1) Using Road and Weather Information to Make Chemical Ice Control Treatment Decisions; and (2) Example of Designing a Chemical Snow and Ice Control Treatment.
