Snow removal in the unincorporated areas
Johnson County Public Works plows roads in unincorporated areas of the county.
Public Works' process for snow removal follows priorities:
- Arterial roads and those with hills, bridges, shaded driving surfaces or super-elevated curves receive first priority.
- Crews will begin on collector roadways and residential streets once arterials are complete.
- Gravel roads will only be plowed when snow accumulations exceed three inches.
We encourage residents to avoid driving during the storm. It will take some time to clear the roadways, and the reduced traffic allows Public Works to move more quickly, helping everyone stay safe.
