Private roads
Private roads are the responsibility of the owner, whether an individual or a homeowner association.
In new housing developments, roads initially are private until they are built to proper specifications and home construction is all or mostly complete. Once the roads become public, they are maintained by the township.
Usually, a developer will pay a fee to either a private company or the township for snow maintenance until a road becomes public.

Secondary routes are streets and culsde-sac in housing developments, along with sparsely populated residential streets, less traveled country roads and community parks.
