• Abstract:
  The purpose of this manual is to present best practices and techniques for snow plowing various intersection layouts in a format that is easy to use and access. While it is understood that different agencies have different vehicles and equipment and their experience of clearing certain type of layout varies, this compilation represents the best practices as determined from a nationwide survey with responses and inputs from a wide group of state agencies, municipal public works, federal agency, tribal and territorial agencies, and metropolitan airport agency. Accompanying with the manual, a training video with animations and a set of reference cards were also developed. Using the snapshots of training video animations, the manual will show the key vehicle maneuver and plowing pattern of the best practice for clearing various layouts.
