Why are state roads plowed when there are less than 4 inches?
Although DelDOT does not reimburse snow falls of less than 4 inches in suburban developments, the state road system is maintained at much lower snow accumulation because of the highway safety factor. The state road system has considerable higher traffic levels and speeds in excess of those in suburban developments, so we plow and treat the roads whenever there is a threat of snow in order to reduce accidents and the loss of life and property.
