Road Class Criteria:
A Primary road, for winter maintenance activities,
is a road that:
- is a Regional road maintained by the City of Vaughan at the
Region's request; or
- is an arterial or collector road; or
- is a connecting link (provides access to the majority of secondary
roads throughout a subdivision); or
- carries high traffic volumes (in excess of 1000 vehicles per
day); or
- has steep hills; or
- has sharp curves.
A Secondary road is a local residential road
that carries lower traffic volumes; is not a public laneway; or
does not meet the above criteria.
It is our goal to plough all roads and windrows in less than
16 hours from the end of a snowfall.
