In adverse conditions priority carriageways and footways are treated seven days a week. Priority routes are principal roads, other strategic routes, main service bus routes and other heavily used roads. Only when the priority routes have been adequately dealt with will resources be deployed on secondary routes and then cul de sacs.

Pavements are also categorised as priority and secondary routes. The priority routes cover educational establishments, main retail locations and main thoroughfares.

There are over 750 grit bins at locations such as steep gradients, bends, steps and sheltered housing. These will be refilled during the winter for use on a self help basis but should not be used for treating private property. Empty bins should be reported to customer services or online.

For information on trunk roads throughout Scotland telephone Traffic Scotland on 0800 028 1414 or visit its website trafficscotland.org
