3 Kilkenny County Council Winter Service Plan 05/06 A3 Purpose and Scope The purpose and scope of this document is to identify the processes, procedures and key personnel employed by Kilkenny County Council in the delivery of winter maintenance services throughout County Kilkenny. 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 the road network in County Kilkenny, it is not feasible to treat all roads in the County during the Winter Season (October 9, 05 to April 30, 06). Accordingly, a form of prioritisation is necessary, and routes are divided into the following three priority designations: Kilkenny County Council will seek to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the prevention of ice formation and of snow accumulation on Priority Routes (Red Routes). Kilkenny County Council will seek to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the prevention of ice formation and of snow accumulation on Priority Routes (Blue Routes). In extreme weather events and/or in circumstances requiring resource prioritisation, Priority Routes will take precedence over Priority Routes in terms of the allocation of available resources. Kilkenny County Council will provide periodic winter maintenance services on Priority 3 Routes (Green Routes). Such services will only be provided on selected occasions associated with the anticipation of particularly severe weather conditions. Road-users must not assume that pre-salting services have been provided to the Priority 3 Network. Mobilisation and Treatment times are detailed in Table A4. below. In the case of Priority and Routes, notification of the intention to commence pre-salting services is required a minimum of five to six hours in advance of the predicted time of ice formation.

The mapping for Priority, and 3 Routes is contained in the Appendices. Drawing.

5 Kilkenny County Council Winter Service Plan 05/06 A8 Decision Matrix The Duty Engineer will inspect the forecast system daily from approximately pm or as soon thereafter as the Met Eireann forecast has been received. The decision matrix normally consists of the following; Table A8. Decision Matrix Notes: Particular attention should be given to the possibility of water running across a) 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. 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 8

Hoar frost may also be forecast at other times of the day, in which case the timing of salting operations should be adjusted accordingly. 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 Treatment Matrix The following outlines the application rates for pre-salting: Pre-salting is provided at a rate of 0g/m At selected sections of pre-salting routes or on particularly severe events, application rates may be increased to reflect localised conditions. Routes have been designed to allow a treatment at 5g/m² when conditions dictate (For example during nights with a prolonged cold period or excess residual water). 9
