Now that the colder weather is here, you can expect town crews to be out plowing the streets during and after a snowfall.

If you would like to know which streets have been plowed and which are currently being maintained, you can now go online to see where the plows are and which streets have been cleared.

The ‘Track Your Plow’ web application provides New Tecumseth residents with information during a winter event.

The map will show an image of a plow at the location where it is actively deployed, plowing or spreading sand or salt.

The map also shows a colour-coded display indicating maintenance.

A Green trail means a street has been cleared within the last eight hours. Yellow means a street has been cleared within the last 8-16 hours. An Orange trail means a street has been cleared within 16-24 hours.

The ‘Track Your Plow’ service is available 24/7 and automatically updates to provide residents with the latest information.

A search address feature is also available. You can enter a specific address, and the map will zoom to that specific location.

Roads are plowed based on priority.

Major roads are plowed first so emergency vehicles can pass safely. Secondary roads are plowed afterward.

Primary roads are roads with the highest speeds and the greatest traffic volume. Secondary roads usually connect residential roads to primary roads.

The Track Your Plow web application is available on the town website.
