DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PASS SNOW PLOW VEHICLES WHILE THEY ARE PLOWING!  

Do not crowd the plow! Plow drivers have limited visibility and they cannot see directly behind their trucks. 

SLOW DOWN!  Snow plows travel at a slower speed; the most common crashes are motorists hitting the rear end of the plow.  Stay alert and watch for a plow's green and amber lights.

Our plow drivers often deal with low visibility during winter weather events. Snow is constantly flying onto the windshield and around the plow truck. These conditions make it a challenge for our drivers to see anyone along the road — both children playing and homeowners shoveling or blowing snow on their driveways.

Just because you can see or hear the plow truck doesn’t mean the driver can see you! Make sure your far enough off of the road and away from the truck when it is operating in your vicinity.

Plows can throw large chunks of ice into ditches when plowing, these chunks of snow and ice could cause you to become injured.

Make sure you remind your children that it is never a good idea to tunnel into snow or build forts in the snowbanks along the side of the road. Our drivers will not be able to see you, and if you’re in the tunnel, you could be “snowed in” when a truck plows next to you.
