The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of urethane and carbide-tipped snow plow blades in wheel-supported plows. Their performance was compared to that of VDOT's standard blade arrangement: carbide-tipped blades on plows without wheels. Performance was measured by the extent of damage to pavement markings, the quality of snow removal, and cost.
