T0777 Attachment 4 - Snow Plow Guide.pdf

This document is the NJDOT Snow Plowing Guide, issued by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. It serves as an operational and technical guide for snow plowing services rather than a traditional state contract award document. The guide establishes standardized procedures and best practices for snow removal operations across New Jersey's highway system.

The guide details specific plowing standards and truck deployment configurations for different highway classifications, including two-lane bidirectional highways, three-lane bidirectional highways, four-lane undivided highways, and multi-lane divided highways with both raised and depressed medians. For each highway type, the document specifies truck positioning, spacing intervals (typically 100 to 500 feet between trucks), and overlap requirements (approximately 2 feet) to ensure complete snow removal coverage. Additional guidance addresses specialized road configurations such as jughandles and switch-back curve ramps, with recommendations for equipment selection and operational tactics. The standards emphasize progressive widening strategies and coordination among multiple trucks to maximize efficiency and provide clear travel paths. While the guide does not specify pricing, contract amounts, or vendor information, it establishes the operational requirements and performance expectations that contractors must meet when executing snow plowing services on New Jersey roadways.
