Winter Weather Awareness Road Gritting North Yorkshire Council gritting crews are on call 24 hours a day from October to the end of the winter season. They will treat North Yorkshire roads whenever needed. Remember gritting does not guarantee an ice-free surface. Traffic needs to drive over a gritted road to grind the salt and activate it. Salt alone does not melt snow and ice. NYC monitor conditions throughout the day and night and adjust our gritting plans as needed. Busy shopping areas and main pedestrian footpaths will be treated before 9am in severe weather. NYC will not treat footpaths following normal overnight frosty conditions. After snowfall and icy conditions, busy shopping streets and main pedestrian footpaths will be cleared first. Remaining footpaths and cycleways will be treated in priority order as resources allow. You can track gritters and view live weather camera – Road gritting | North Yorkshire Council
Safe Winter Driving North Yorkshire Council has prepared resources and information on driving in rain, wet or flooded roads and in snow and icy conditions. Please stay safe on the roads this season.
