Summer and winter maintenance

We take care of snow ploughing, anti-skid treatment, dust binding and other maintenance. Here you will find information about which roads are the responsibility of the municipality. You can provide feedback on street snow ploughing, missing or faulty traffic signs, and broken street and traffic lights.

Snow clearance from streets and roads

The Tuusula municipality has roads managed by the municipality, the New Economic Development Centre, private landowners and other road owners. The roads managed by the municipality of Tuusula are maintained by both the municipality’s own employees and exte al contractors, which the municipality puts out to tender at regular intervals. The municipality manages snow ploughing contracts throughout the municipality.

The Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities’ guide Kadut kuntoon (Fixing Streets) explains, among other things, the responsibilities of property owners.

Maintenance responsibilities can be found on the Tuusula map service. You can open the entire map by clicking on the arrow in the upper left co er of the map image.

Snow and surplus soil storage, snow dumping sites

The municipality of Tuusula does not currently have a reception point for surplus soil intended for exte al operators. You can find the location of the nearest reception point via the Maapörssi service.

Snow dump sites are located in Nuppulinna (Jokelantie 493, 05430 Tuusula) and Fallbackankaari (Fallbackankaari 48, 01450 Tuusula). Only snow from the Tuusula municipality area may be brought to the snow dump site. Snow from other areas may not be brought to the sites. For more detailed information on the use of the area, please contact foreman Keijo Salminen during office hours on 040 314 4508.

In Fallbackankaaressa, snow collection only works using the Recos application.

The fee for the snow dump is €20.40 per load (includes 25.5% VAT).

Street lighting and traffic lights

Street lights are on throughout the year during twilight and darkness, even in summer. The lights switch on and off automatically using a twilight switch. If the lights are on during daylight hours, they are probably being serviced.

Municipal street lights and traffic lights are maintained by contracted contractors. They perform maintenance and repair individual street lights that have gone out every eight weeks.

Please report any faults in the lighting network, such as flickering or non-functioning lights. It is particularly important to report street lights that flicker intermittently, as this type of fault is difficult for contractors to detect.

Outdoor lighting

The municipality of Tuusula is responsible for maintaining the lighting on skating rinks, outdoor trails and fitness trails.

Missing and defective traffic signs

Only the local council can put up or have traffic signs put up on streets and public areas that they’re responsible for. Signs can be put up on private roads if the local council says it’s okay.

The New Economic Development Centre, in tu , is responsible for traffic signs on the roads and other roads it manages.
