Snow Removal Tips from Public Works - Plan ahead when snow is on the way. Remove all cars from the street. Do not shovel your driveway apron until you are sure the plows are finished plowing the street. Always pile the snow behind the curb. Never throw snow in front of the curb because this only assures that the plow will plow it back in or create an unsafe road condition. Depositing snow from the sidewalk or driveway in to the road way is illegal. If you see a salt truck or plow truck driving behind you let them pass you so they can clear the way for you and open the roadways quicker.

I didn't realize that it was illegal to shovel snow into the road. I just figured that it was common sense not to do that. I will have to let the salt trucks pass me in the future because I usually don't.

I have made that mistake so many times! It feels good to finally finish shoveling only to find out that everything you just took off the driveway is now back on your driveway because of the plows. It's hard to time it right in my neighborhood because the plows come by so randomly.

I think most of these are common sense, but it's nice to know that they're enforced by the law as well. My dad always used to get up at the crack of dawn on snowy days to shovel the driveway. When we finally got him a snowblower one year, I think he missed the old shovel. Now he can do all the neighbors in the same amount of time, though.

Thank you for these snow removal tips. I'm glad that you mentioned shoveling snow behind the curb to avoid unsafe road conditions. I never would have thought of that. The last thing I want is to cause an accident.
