Help Snowplows Do Their Job

Driving during winter conditions can be challenging, especially with snowplows on the roads.  Our hard working team of plow operators work diligently to clear snow from the roads.  There are a number of things residents can do to ensure efficient and safe snow removal.

Motorists are reminded:

• Blue flashing lights identify snow maintenance equipment.
• Snowplows travel at slower speeds than regular traffic.
• Be patient and give the snowplow operator room to do his/her job.
• Stay at least 15 m (50’) behind a snowplow.
• Never pass a snowplow.
• When encountering a snowplow in the opposite direction, move as far away from the centreline of the road as you safely can.
• Ensure your vehicle head lights are on so that snowplow operators can see you.
