TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Economic impacts of snow on traffic delays and safety JO - Transportation research record A1 - Welch, Bob H. A1 - Kennedy, W. J. A1 - Stewart, Roger M. SP - 40 EP - 47 VL - 647 IS - N2 - This paper outlines the effects of snow and snow removal on four types of urban and rural highways that were studied in a 4-year project sponsored by 12 "snow" states and the Federal Highway Administration. The project identified and calculated such road-user costs as delay, volume and speed reductions, and fuel consumption; business costs included losses from such things as absenteeism, tardiness, and spoilage.
