ROAD NEWS

✓ Winter ! When the weather conditions are bad, driving can be a challenge. The safest option is to stay off the roads in bad weather, but if you must be on the road, please drive according to the road and weather conditions. It could save your life and the lives of others.

✓ Sometimes it is not possible to plow the roads without blocking driveway entrances. It is the property owner’s responsibility to clear the snow from their driveway and from around their mailbox.

✓ Please refrain from pushing snow across the road and depositing it on the road allowance as it catches the blowing snow making a larger drift and can be a liability. Every person who contravenes these provisions of the Highway Traffic Act is guilty of an offense and liable upon conviction to a fine.

✓ Under the provisions of the Highway Traffic Act, no person shall park or leave standing any vehicle whether attended or unattended, upon any such road in such a manner as to interfere with snow removal operations. Any vehicle obstructing snow removal operation will be referred to the OPP and shall be removed at the owner's expense.

✓ Your care and patience is appreciated and again, please drive according to conditions!
