Winter Safety Tips/Suggestions
Safety
- Keep children out of snow piles and forts near the road to prevent injury from snowplows.
- Do not put anything in the road right-of-way including plants, shrubs, rocks, etc.
Snowplows
- Stay back, slow down and be patient.
- Give snowplow operators room to work in.
- Don't pass snowplows.
- Maintenance vehicles frequently back up.
Driving
- Never drive into a snow cloud.
- Monitor weather and road conditions.
Snow Removal
- Perform snow removal and ice control tasks in a timely manner. Keep fire hydrants, gutters and storm water catch basins free of ice and snow.
- Store shoveled snow "downstream" of driveways (in your yard) to reduce the chance of having your driveway filled with snow as snowplows pass.
- Check the condition of your mailbox post and make any necessary repairs prior to winter.
