Carlow County Council
Winter Services Plan
2020/2021
‘The winter maintenance period lasts from mid-October
to the end of April each year. Carlow County Council is
constantly striving to improve its winter maintenance
service; however, neither the local authority nor
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has a statutory
obligation to pre-salt roads. The aim, however, is to keep
priority roads safe and as free as possible from wintry
hazards…….’

Page 4 of 33A3 Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this document is to identify the processes, procedures and key
personnel employed by Carlow County Council, in the delivery of winter maintenance
service throughout County Carlow.
A4 Winter Maintenance Policy
Motorists have a general duty of care to consider prevailing weather and road
conditions when planning and/or undertaking journeys across the public road
network.
Due to the length of road network in County Carlow, it is not feasible to treat all roads
in the county during the winter season (October-April). Accordingly, a form of
prioritisation is necessary and routes are divided into the following priority
designations :-
• Priority 1 Routes – Carlow County Council will seek to ensure, as far as
reasonably practicable, the prevention of ice formation and snow accumulation
on these routes.
• Priority 2 Routes – Carlow County Council will aim to keep priority 2 roads
safe and as free as possible from wintry hazards as far as reasonably
practicable. In extreme weather events, Priority 1 routes will take precedence
over Priority 2 routes in terms of allocation of resources.
• Priority 3 Routes – Not treated as part of the normal winter maintenance
service. May receive intermittent treatment during particularly severe weather
events, with gritting material provided at designated locations for local
voluntary groups to utilise. Road-users must not assume that pre-salting
services have been provided to the Priority 3 Network.

Priority 2 Routes outlined in Appendix 1 Treatment will only occur when there is;
• predicted prolonged snow fall that
will accumulate or
• to a limited extent when specifically
identified widespread ice formation
as forecast at two or more TII
weather stations.
There is no guarantee that these routes will
be treated. Information will be available
regarding treatment on local media.
Priority 3 All other routes (including cycle & Not treated as part of the normal winter
pedestrian routes). maintenance service. During particularly

The decision to undertake precautionary treatments should be, if appropriate, adjusted to take
account of residual salt or surface moisture.
All decisions should be evidence based, recorded and require careful monitoring and review.
Notes:
(a) Particular attention should be given to the possibility of water running across carriageways and
other running surfaces e.g. surface water off adjacent fields after heavy rains, washing off salt
previously deposited. Such locations should be closely monitored and may require treating in the
evening and morning and possible other occasions. Ideally the source of the run-off should be
diverted from the roadway.
(b) When a weather warning contains reference to expected hoar frost, considerable deposits of frost
can occur. Hoar frost usually occurs in the early morning and is difficult to cater for because of the
probability that any salt deposited on a dry road too soon before its onset, may be dispersed
before it can become effective. Careful monitoring is required under this forecast condition which
should ideally be treated just as the hoar frost is forming. Such action is usually not practicable,
and salt may have to be deposited on a dry road prior to but as close as possible to the expected
time of the condition. Hoar frost may also be forecast at other times of the day, in which case the
timing of salting operations should be adjusted accordingly.
Page 13 of 33(c) If under these conditions, rain has not ceased by early morning, crews should be called out and
action initiated as rain ceases.
(d) Under these circumstances rain will freeze on contact with running surfaces and full precautionary
treatment should be provided even on dry roads. This is a most serious condition and should be
monitored closely and carefully throughout the danger period.
A9.1 Decision Matrix (Priority 2)
Treatment will only occur when there is;
• predicted prolonged snow fall that will accumulate, or
• to a limited extent when specifically identified widespread ice formation as
forecast at two or more TII weather stations.
There is no guarantee that these routes will be treated.

Light snow forecast (Notes:
(a) Rate of spread for precautionary treatments may be adjusted to take account of variations
occurring along the route such as residual salt, surface moisture (in the air or on the road
surface) and traffic density.
(b) For salt stored outside, it may be necessary to increase the spread rate for precautionary
treatment salting from 10gm/m2 to 15-20gm/m2.
(c) All decisions should be forecast based, recorded and require careful monitoring and review.
(d) Ice refers to all ice on the road surface, including black ice.
A10.1 Treatment Matrix (Priority 2 Routes)
Treatment of Priority 2 routes will be undertaken by Local Authority, assisted by
contractors procured under the plant hire framework policy. Routes that are to be
treated by LA vehicles will operate within the terms of the treatment matrix outlined
for Priority 1 routes. In the case of those routes treated by contractors, the vehicles
available will not be similar type spreading equipment as operated by the Local
Authority and as such will not have the computer aided spreading controls. The
treatment matrix on priority 2 routes will in so far as possibly aim to achieve that set
out in the treatment matrix for priority 1 routes.
A11 Plant, Vehicles and Equipment
Carlow Co. Co. operate 5 Lorries, 4 demountable salt spreaders and 5 no.
snowploughs to deliver the winter service.

Page 16 of 33A11.1 Supplementary Resources
Carlow Co. Co. plant hire framework has identified a number of private hire
contractors that have various agricultural type spreaders for use in extreme
emergency weather situations. These will be procured for Priority 1 & 2 routes under
the plant hire framework for Carlow Co. Co. should the need arise.
A12 Details of Salt & Storage Depots
Carlow County Council are assigned an allocation of salt by the TII (formally NRA) for
use on National Roads and a further allocation by the Department of Transport for
use on the Non-National roads. The suppliers of salt have been chosen on the basis
of a framework competition. The Duty Engineer/NSMS Coordinator is responsible for
ordering the salt from the suppliers, coordinating the deliveries and reporting salt
usage on a weekly basis to the National Salt Management System. Depots available
for salt storage are:

Page 17 of 33A14 Footpaths
The County Council will seek to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the
prevention of snow accumulation on public footpaths. However, due to the
length of the footpath network in County Carlow, it is not feasible to treat all
footpaths in the county. Accordingly, a form of prioritisation is necessary and
in the event of snow, locations will be prioritised by the local area offices as
follows:
– Priority location to be treated when snow is present are defined as public
areas located adjacent to educational facilities, financial institutions, hospitals,
pedestrian crossings, court house, civic buildings, places of worship and
transport hubs.
– Grit will be provided at locations listed in Appendix 1 which may be used on
footpaths
Business and Residential owners are requested to keep area in front of
premises clear of snow.
