Product Experience Survey

In an effort to encourage the evaluation of products related to winter maintenance and the distribution of those results, Clear Roads has created a Product Experience Survey for use by any interested organization. We compile the Product Experience Survey for each product tested and post them on this page at the end of each winter. See below for details.

Clear Roads does not endorse any of the products evaluated. This informal survey is meant to be a tool for states to share experiences with winter maintenance products and not a scientific evaluation of product performance.
