Gladness control
Directly regulate
What is it?
The municipality must control slipperiness on roads within built-up areas. The municipality gritters when roads become slippery due to freezing, snow or sleet.
- First, the municipality grits on through routes, such as bus routes, main roads and access roads to neighborhoods.
- Then gritting is done on roads to home and nursing homes and streets near shopping centers and in residential areas.
The municipality is affiliated with "regional coordination smoothness control" for all municipalities in the Brabant Southeast area and cooperates with the weather bureau HWS, State and provincial water authorities. Data from their gritting systems is used. This allows the starting signal for gritting actions to be accurately determined.
On average, a gritting operation takes 2.5 hours. The aim is to finish gritting and, if necessary, clear snow from the routes before the morning rush hour.
