How to Keep Your Driveway Clear

MoDOT's top priority in a snowstorm is to clear driving surfaces as soon as possible, which may require several trips down the same route.  Snow plowed from roads could end up blocking private driveways for some time. MoDOT recognizes the inconvenience this causes, but because of limited time and resources, plows cannot clear private driveways. 

To reduce the amount of snow that might block your driveway, shovel an open area along the shoulder at the entrance (see illustration below). Plow blades will then push snow into the area just before your driveway, leaving a much smaller amount in front of it.
