Do
• Help operators avoid trash or recycling containers; place containers in the driveway, not in the street or on the pathway. Garbage hauler arms extend up to six feet to pick up a container, so no need to get too close to the street.
• Stay at least four car lengths behind a snowplow. Plows can create dangerous snow clouds and can throw chucks of snow, ice and debris.
• Expect maintenance vehicles to back up frequently.
• Be patient…a snowfall of 4” takes 8 to 10 hours to plow and apply ice control.
• Shovel in front of your mailbox—the post office will not deliver mail if they cannot get close enough to reach the mailbox from their vehicle.
• Call 651-792-7004 to report hazardous conditions or to get information related to snow plowing.
• Review the City’s Snow and Ice Policy available at: www.cityofroseville.com/snowicepolicy

Don’t
• Do not assume plow drivers see you--their field of vision is limited.
• Do not pass a snowplow on the right. Snowplows push snow and spread ice control to the right
• If the City is responsible for plowing a sidewalk that crosses your driveway, do not park your vehicles so that it blocks the sidewalk.
• Do not allow children to play in the streets or to build tunnels or forts in snow banks along streets and driveways.
• Do not put trash cans or recycling bins in the street. Snowplow drivers cannot stop or drive around the bins, and your bins could end up down the street.
