Overview
The New Jersey Department
of Transportation (NJDOT)
works to make winter
travel as safe as possible.
NJDOT has 12,953 lane-miles
of Interstate, US and State
routes under its jurisdiction
that it strives to keep
open and passable at all
times during winter weather.
The goal during a winter
storm is to maintain the
roads for safe travel,
at safe speeds, by using
anti-icing materials and,
when appropriate, removal
of snow with plows. NJDOT
utilizes a wide array of resources to
provide the best possible
road conditions during
each winter storm. The
intensity, duration and
temperature of each storm
determine how
quickly we are able to
get to bare pavement after
the storm.
Travelers should always
use caution and drive according
to the road and weather
conditions.
