MoDOT's
top priority in a snowstorm is plowing state highways, 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 can only
clear private driveways at the request of local emergency
officials.
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.

the state, visit MoDOT's Traveler Information Map or call 1-888-ASK-MODOT (888-275-6636)
