Shoveling or Plowing Snow and Ice on Roadways or Sidewalks - Highway Traffic Act Violation

It is a violation of the Highway Traffic Act to place snow or ice on the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 181.

Shoveling or plowing snow and ice onto roadways and sidewalks is a pedestrian and motorist safety issue, as well it impedes Township roadway and sidewalk clean-up work. 

Often frozen snow/ice on roadways will require Public Works crews to return to previously cleared areas, which adds to the time it takes to clear roadways.
