T0777 Attachment 4 - Snow Plow Guide.pdf

This document is the NJDOT Snow Plowing Guide, a technical reference document published by the New Jersey Department of Transportation that establishes standard procedures and protocols for snow removal operations on state highways.

The guide provides detailed operational standards for snow plowing services across various highway configurations, including two-lane two-direction highways, three-lane two-direction highways, four-lane undivided highways, and multi-lane divided highways with both raised and depressed medians. Each configuration specifies precise truck positioning, spacing intervals (typically 100 to 500 feet between vehicles), overlap requirements (approximately 2 feet), and directional plowing sequences to ensure complete snow removal from travel lanes and shoulders. The document also addresses specialized road features such as jughandles and switch-back curve ramps, providing guidance on equipment deployment and snow placement strategies. No pricing terms, contract amounts, option periods, or renewal provisions are contained in this guide, which functions solely as an operational and technical standard for contractors performing snow plowing services on behalf of NJDOT during winter weather events.
