Priority System

County roads are plowed on a priority basis as listed below:

PRIORITY ONE: Major arterials (generally the one-mile grid streets) and access to emergency services (fire stations, medical facilities, etc.) are included in this category.

PRIORITY TWO:  Minor arterials, major collector streets and access to schools, business areas, grocery stores and service stations are included in this category.

Non-priority roadways include local, residential and other streets not specifically identified in the priority system.  Except for emergency situations, or extreme snow conditions.  Equipment will not be diverted to non-priority streets, due to budgetary and manpower restrictions.  Additional priorities are established for the sand/salt needs at hazardous locations, i.e., hills, intersections, etc.
