When should assessments of snow clearance be conducted during winter?

Conducting assessments of snow clearance regularly, ideally after each significant snowfall event, is crucial for maintaining safe and accessible roadways during winter. This proactive approach ensures that the road conditions can be evaluated frequently, allowing for prompt identification of any issues such as inadequate snow removal, icy patches, or areas that require immediate attention.

Regular assessments facilitate timely updates to snow clearance strategies, improving responsiveness to changing weather conditions and enhancing overall public safety. By focusing on significant snowfall events, the assessments can address the most impactful situations on the roads, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently to keep the transportation network operational and safe for all users.

While assessments at the beginning of the winter season, after major snowstorms, or once a month may have their merits, they do not provide the same level of responsiveness and adaptability that regular assessments after each significant snowfall can deliver.
