... AFTER-END-OF-WINTER WEATHER EVENT LEVEL OF SERVICE The after-end-of-event LOS is usually expressed as a time to achieve particular pavement surface conditions in terms of ice or snow coverage, or PSIC level. ESTABLISHING LEVEL OF SERVICE GOALS The first step in the process of establishing LOS goals is to prioritize the roadway system and particular locations within the system into some type of LOS system.
