Document Summary

This document is the NJDOT (New Jersey Department of Transportation) Snow Plowing Guide, which provides operational standards and procedures for snow removal services on New Jersey roadways. The guide establishes standardized protocols for contractor and departmental personnel responsible for winter maintenance operations across the state's highway system.

The guide details snow plowing standards for five different highway configurations: two-lane, two-direction highways; three-lane, two-direction highways; four-lane undivided highways; multi-lane divided highways with raised medians and no drainage; and multi-lane divided highways with depressed medians and drainage. For each configuration, the document specifies truck positioning, spacing intervals (typically 100-500 feet between trucks), overlap requirements (approximately 2 feet), and directional snow movement protocols. Additional sections address plowing standards for jughandles and switch-back curve ramps, with specific guidance on truck placement, snow direction, and cleanup procedures. The standards emphasize maximizing clear path width for cross traffic while ensuring efficient cleanup operations. All procedures are illustrated through detailed diagrams showing truck positions and operational sequences. No pricing, contract amounts, option periods, or renewal terms are specified in this operational guidance document.
