Richmond has identified 700 miles of roadway that it considers a top priority to plow whenever snow hits.

Those routes are identified in red on the map below.

Blue routes are deemed a secondary priority, if time permits.

The stars show where Richmond's ambulances are dispatched from, and are cleared with the top-priority routes.

The city does not begin plowing until there is at least two inches of snow on the roads.
