T0777 Attachment 4 - Snow Plow Guide.pdf

This document is the NJDOT (New Jersey Department of Transportation) Snow Plowing Guide, which establishes operational standards and procedures for snow removal services on New Jersey state highways. The guide provides technical specifications and best practices for contractors and state personnel responsible for maintaining roadways during winter weather events.

The guide contains standardized plowing procedures organized by highway type, 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. For each configuration, the document specifies truck positioning, spacing requirements (typically 100-500 feet between vehicles), and overlap standards (approximately 2 feet) to ensure complete snow removal from travel lanes to shoulder and gutter lines. Additional sections address specialized applications including jughandles and switch-back curve ramps, with specific directional guidance for optimal snow placement and cleanup efficiency. The procedures emphasize coordinated multi-truck operations to minimize traffic disruption while achieving complete roadway clearance, with provisions for additional vehicles on higher-capacity roadways.
