Snow routes depend on who maintains the road
St. Louis County's snow and ice pages point residents back to road responsibility, because county, municipal, and state roads can be handled by different agencies.
The same snowstorm can put several road crews on the map. In St. Louis County, a slippery street may be county-maintained, municipal, private, or part of the state highway system.
That is why a plow complaint needs more than “my road.” County crews are not responsible for every street inside the county boundary. A city may handle its own streets. MoDOT handles state routes and posts traveler conditions for those roads. Private roads can be a separate problem altogether.
Write down the road name, nearby intersection, municipality, and whether the road is a numbered state route. With those details in hand, the county road-responsibility page and MoDOT traveler map can point the report to the right place faster.
