Winter maintenance, or snow removal, is performed by two maintenance trucks and four tractors. In addition, there is a two-member brigade for manual cleaning of bus stops and crossings. According to the company, this amount of equipment and people is completely sufficient to ensure the roads are in good order.
Based on the intensity of road use, city streets are divided into three groups according to the level of maintenance, which can be seen on the road map below.
Third condition level streets, light traffic roads, bus stops, parking lots and crossings, snow removal must be carried out within five hours from the start of snowfall or blizzard, and anti-skid control within four hours from the onset of slippage. The thickness of the snow layer, which must not be exceeded at any time, is as follows: four centimeters of fluffy snow and two centimeters of melted snow.
Second condition level snow removal on streets and roads must be done within 12 hours from the beginning of snowfall or blizzard. And anti-slippery was done within eight hours from the onset of slippage. The thickness of the snow layer, which must not be exceeded at any time, is as follows: fluffy snow eight centimeters and melted snow four centimeters.
First condition level streets and roads, snow removal must be done within 24 hours from the beginning of snowfall or blizzard, and anti-slippery must be done within 12 hours from the onset of slipperiness.

Dear citizen!If your vehicle parked on the public road has prevented the work of the maintenance vehicle and therefore the snow was not cleared, please be kind and clear the snow around your car yourself (Keila City's Code of Conduct §2 p2 pt.).
The higher the traffic on a road section, the higher the required level of condition. Again, the speed of maintenance depends on the level of condition.
There are a total of 12 kilometers of roads with the third condition level in the city.With this level, there are also parking lots, crosswalks. bus stops and pedestrian and light traffic roads. We have 32 maintained bus stops (including 19 with waiting rooms), 11410 m2 of maintained parking lots and nearly 25 kilometers of maintained light traffic roads. The city's 102 crosswalks also need cleaning.
There are the most roads with the second condition level, or a total of 37 kilometers.
The first condition level is intra-quarter roads.There are a total of five kilometers of them in the city, or nearly 25000 m2. Roads with this level of condition are generally limited to snow removal, skid control is only done on dangerous road sections, such as steep ascents, descents, near railroad crossings, etc.
Levels "3" and "2" also have anti-slip properties. However, on condition level “1” roads, anti-skid is generally not applied, except on dangerous road sections and slippery driving conditions caused by severe weather conditions. Severe weather conditions are considered a situation when more than ten centimeters of snow falls within 24 hours, a blizzard lasts for more than six hours, the formation of ice or slippery conditions caused by high humidity below -12 °C for more than four hours.
According to the contract, all vehicles used in road maintenance are equipped with a GPS device in order to track their journey.
