Don’t blow snow onto road

Home owners are being asked to not blowing snow onto the roadway from their properties.

The blowing snow can cause a dangerous driving situation, especially when unsuspecting drivers have snow blown onto their windshields resulting in zero visibility, say Norfolk OPP.

This could potentially cause a serious or fatal collision.

“As you remove snow from your property, please make sure to aim the snow away from people, buildings, roadways, motor vehicles and pets,” said Inspector Rob Scott, Detachment Commander, Norfolk County OPP in a media release. “Any stones or ice ejected into the air has the potential to injure, damage windows or damage property.”
