Snowplow Safety

• Use caution near snow removal equipment.
• Drive a safe distance behind snowplows.
• Before attempting to pass snow removal equipment, check direction of snow discharge to avoid snow and debris thrown from equipment.
• Remember that plows are wider than most vehicles and portions of the plow and blade may be obscured by blowing snow.
• Don’t travel beside a snowplow.
• Do not brake with unnecessary sudden movements in front of a snowplow.
• Don’t drive through white out conditions caused by swirling snow around a snowplow.
