Due to limited human, financial and equipment resources, it is not possible to implement snow and ice control measures concurrently. For this reason a policy on the priority and sequence of snow and ice control measures is required. Notwithstanding, it shall be the responsibility of the Director of Operations to manage all human and equipment resources to achieve the greatest level of efficiency Please see the below which details Town policies concerning snow and ice control: Winter Parking on StreetsVehicles left parked on streets during times when snow plowing is occurring creates difficult and dangerous situations. Parked vehicles act as barriers which do not permit for the effective plowing of snow from the street, as well, even though snowplow operators drive with care, they may not see your vehicle during white-out conditions and a collision may occur.
Parking in a manner which may interfere with or obstruct snow removal or winter maintenance operations is a violation under Section 139 of the NS Motor Vehicle Act.
Inappropriate winter parking on streets could result in a fine, a towed vehicle or a damaged vehicle. |
