•Move any vehicles that you can before the plow comes.
•Provide a clear marking at the limits of the plowing area- snow stakes can help with this. •Know where the snow can be kept- in many areas, it is illegal to push snow into the roadways.
•Want de-icer spread? Inform the snow and ice management provider of the composition of your driveway or parking lot, they will be able to use the safe and correct type of salt, sand or ice-melting agent.
