With Winter coming, you may wish to save this link to look up which roads will be gritted.
See when roads are gritted and view our gritting routes.
Between 1 October and 30 April we keep North Yorkshire’s roads moving during periods of extreme weather.
Motorways and trunk roads such as the A1, A1(M), A66, A66(M), A64, A168 (Dishforth to Thirsk) and A19 (Thirsk to Crathorne) are the responsibility of Highways England.
When we will grit the roads
Our gritting crews are on call 24 hours a day between October and April. They will treat North Yorkshire roads whenever needed. Remember gritting does not guarantee an ice free surface. Traffic needs to drive over a gritted road in order to grind the salt and activate it. Salt alone does not melt snow and ice. We monitor conditions throughout the day and night and adjust our gritting plans an needed.
Our gritting plans for overnight on the 22 to 23 November are:
| Area | Gritting plans |
|---|---|
| Richmondshire | Gritting all priority 1 routes. |
| Hambleton | Gritting all priority 1 routes. |
| Scarborough | Gritting all priority 1 routes. |
| Ryedale | Gritting all priority 1 routes. |
| Craven | Gritting all priority 1 and 2 routes. |
| Harrogate | Gritting all priority 1 routes. |
| Selby | Gritting all priority 1 routes. |

We grit our roads in the order below, as resources allow, based on traffic flows and the best use of our gritters.
| Priority | Type of road | Gritted by |
|---|---|---|
 1 |
Connects or passes through towns | 7am |
 2 |
Access to local communities | 10am |
| Unmarked | Housing estates and country lanes | Only gritted if conditions last over 72 hours and resources allow |
Most scheduled buses and three quarters of school buses run on gritted routes. We cannot grit all our roads due to the time and cost involved.
We update Twitter when we plan to grit, subject to resources. You can follow us @northyorkscc.
