When snow begins to accumulate, the Department of Transportation, Division of Highway Services, will first treat all main County arterial roads and emergency routes with salting and plowing, as necessary. Once the snow stops and arterial roads, emergency routes and primary roads are clear, crews begin plowing neighborhood streets. The goal is to make neighborhood or residential streets passable, not necessarily to clear them to bare pavement. Progress in neighborhood plowing operations can be tracked on the County's "Snow Web Page" found on the County website.

The County is responsible for plowing County maintained roadways. If the road is a numbered route such as Rte. 355, 117, please contact Maryland State Highway at 301.513.7300 OR 410.582.5650 (out of normal business hours). The Operations Center is 800.543.2515

A representative will investigate the service request within one (1) business day.
