Overview
Background & policy context:
Extreme winter weather between 2008 and 2015 tested highway winter maintenance arrangements in many parts of the world. Unusually cold weather and significant snow events resulted in significant transport disruption and international media attention. From these challenges arose an opportunity to learn more about, and improve, the service provided to the road user.
Objectives:
The objective of this project is to document the good practice and can be used to aid the further development of winter maintenance resilience.
