Document Summary

This document is a Snow Plowing Guide issued by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). It serves as an operational manual for winter weather response, specifically detailing standardized plowing procedures and truck deployment protocols across various highway configurations throughout the state.

The guide establishes specific plowing standards for different roadway types, 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 intervals (typically 100 to 500 feet between trucks), overlap requirements (approximately 2 feet), and snow placement procedures. Additional specialized guidance is provided for jughandles and switch-back curve ramps, with recommendations for equipment types and operational sequences. The document indicates that trucks should maintain progressive widening during operations and that cleaned areas should be managed to maximize traffic flow and facilitate subsequent cleanup operations. No pricing information, contract terms, option periods, or financial amounts are contained in this operational guide.
