abstract="The level of winter maintenance on a low-volume trunk highway in northern Minnesota was reduced during the winter of 1984-1985. Sand or salt was used only at hazardous locations and plowing coverage was limited to 8 hr a day. The roadway conditions were assessed periodically on this section of highway as well as on two control sections, one a county road and the other a trunk highway where the normal level of winter maintenance was provided. Questionnaires were used to obtain public reaction. Primary findings from the study were that farmers are more tolerant of a lower level of service than nonfarmers, two-thirds of the respondents were satisfied with the lower level of service, road users expect a higher level of service on trunk highways than on county roads, and an annual cost savings of $140 per roadway mile (approximately 40 percent) was realized by the reduced service.
