HRPOA is responsible for approximately 35 miles of roads throughout the Highland Ranches. Unpaved roads are designated as 4x4 roads, especially during wet and/or snowy weather conditions. Four wheel drive and appropriate tires are advised for winter driving in the Highlands.
Road maintenance is performed year round, depending on assessed needs, with the bulk occurring between the months of March and November. The primary goal of annual road maintenance activities is to provide safe roads with good friction and adequate drainage. Maintenance also includes cleaning ditches and culverts. Emergency maintenance is performed whenever a washout or severe pothole develops. All of the paved portions of Lousetown Road and Cartwright Road are maintained by Storey County.
Snow plowing is accomplished through the use of the snow plows owned and operated by the HRPOA. Plowing usually begins when snow accumulation reaches 4". Considering the approximate 700' elevation difference throughout the Highlands, snow depth may be greater or less than 4" in some areas when plowing begins. Snow Water Equivalent and temperature forecasts also play a part in scheduling snow removal so as to reduce wet (muddy) roads. Our snow plow operators typically begin work early in the morning to help ensure roads are cleared as quickly and efficiently as possible, depending on the severity of the storm.
Current and past year Road Plans may be obtained by clicking on Association Files in the menu bar above. It should be noted that these plans are used as the basis for the Annual Reserve Study.
