County residents are reminded that it is unlawful to plow snow from driveways onto or across County roads per MN Statue 160.2715. Piles of snow left on or near the road can freeze into a solid mass, creating a hazardous situation for vehicles and snowplows. Accidents and damages caused by snow piles placed in the roadway may result in liability to the property owner. Piles of snow increase the chances of snow drifting onto the roadway. As snow is plowed from roadways, operators leave as little snow as possible across driveways. County removal of this snow is not feasible and is the property owner's responsibility.
The Public Works Department may assist stranded motorists by contacting law enforcement/emergency personnel. The department will not attempt to remove stuck vehicles from ditches, snowbanks or any other impediment.
