Summary

This document is a Snow Plowing Guide issued by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). It serves as an operational and technical reference document for winter road maintenance services, specifically establishing standard procedures and best practices for snow plowing operations across New Jersey's highway system.

The guide establishes plowing standards for various highway configurations, including two-lane two-direction highways, three-lane two-direction highways, four-lane undivided highways, and multi-lane divided highways with either raised medians with no drainage or depressed medians with drainage. Each configuration specifies truck positioning, spacing intervals (ranging from 100 to 500 feet between vehicles), overlap requirements (approximately 2 feet), and directional plow deployment. Additional standards address specialized road features including jughandles and switch-back curve ramps. The document does not address pricing, contractual terms, option periods, or renewal conditions; rather, it functions as a technical operational guide to ensure consistent, efficient snow removal across the state's diverse road network.
