Not Plowed:
To give crews a chance to finish their assigned routes, VDOT asks that you wait until 48 hours after the storm has ended before reporting missed roads.
If a plow in your neighborhood doesn’t get to your street, it means another one has been assigned to your area and will be along soon.
Slippery/Slick – Needs Treatment:
VDOT works continuously to clear roads during a storm. We appreciate your patience.
In addition to plowing streets, VDOT uses salt and sand to treat roads. Salt is most effective after the snow has accumulated about an inch and the temperature is 27 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Plowed/Not Passable:
A neighborhood street is considered passable when a path is drivable with caution for an average passenger vehicle.
The road may not be cleared curb-to-curb or to bare pavement, and may remain snow-packed, uneven and rutted.
Number of lanes affected?
Driveways:
Snow plows occasionally block driveways with snow. VDOT would avoid this if possible, however it is a by-product of making as many roads passable as quickly as possible.
When shoveling driveways, it helps to shovel to the right as you face the road. This can minimize the snow pushed back into your driveway. VDOT: How to Properly Shovel Your Driveway
Missed Cul-de-Sac:
In subdivisions, the main roads will be repeatedly plowed. Once the storm has stopped and those roads are clear, crews focus on residential streets and cul-de-sacs.
Plow Driver Complaint:
Snow plows occasionally block driveways with snow. VDOT would avoid this if possible, however it is a by-product of making as many roads passable as quickly as possible.
Trucks with their blades up may be spreading salt and sand or may be headed back to the maintenance yard for more salt or abrasives.
Important Information:
If you have a medical emergency, call 911.
Emergency responders will work directly with VDOT to get to you if needed.
If your road is state maintained, VDOT is responsible for clearing it. However, the Customer Service Center cannot tell you when your road is scheduled to be plowed.
