Where to Grit?
Gritting priority is given to 3 types of roads/routes and based upon the recommendations contained in a National Code of Practice. • Priority A – Strategic routes and principal roads, important classified roads and bus routes • Priority B – All other classified roads, important unclassified roads and bus routes • Priority C – In prolonged periods of lying snow/ice, estate and minor access roads in hilly or exposed locations will be treated, and consideration given to important footway routes (for example shopping precincts) Treatment of Priority C locations would only be considered when conditions dictate and when all other priorities had been fully and adequately treated and resources become available.
