If the ditches are full of snow dumped by private and commercial entities, it severely hampers the department’s ability to clear roadways and make them safe for travel,” says Sandal. Snow piles that remain adjacent to the road may cause additional drifting and visibility problems posing more safety hazards to travelers, as well as additional expenses for manpower and equipment to remove the illegally dumped snow. Property owners and access users are reminded it is their responsibility to remove snow from the ends of driveways and around their own mailboxes. The department asks landowners and commercial snow-removal operators to keep excess snow on private property or haul it to legal dumping sites. PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota Department of Transportation is reminding the public and commercial snow removal operators that it is illegal to place or dump excess snow on highway right of way, which includes driving surfaces, shoulders and ditches. “The state saw some significant snowfall in many areas last weekend and as folks continue to clean up, we are seeing more & more snow being placed in the state right of way,” said Kristi Sandal, public information officer. “Piling snow in the state right of way can be very dangerous for motorists by restricting sight distance or creating an extreme hazard if a vehicle leaves the roadway.” Violation of the anti-dumping law is a Class 1 misdemeanor, with a penalty of up to one year in jail, $2,000 in fines, or both. It is the policy of the SDDOT to remove snow that has been illegally piled within the highway right of way that may be a safety hazard. In addition, violators will be billed for the costs of removing Christmas Tree Collection Site Is Open Until Jan. 13 The Christmas tree collection site is open for the collection of real trees. The drop off site is located on the south side of Broadway Street just west of Dakota Street. Trees will be accepted through Jan. 13. Please remove any lights, decorations and plastic wrapping used in transporting the tree.

This protocol allows for the streets to be plowed from curb-to-curb. Plowing 2 curb-to-curb is crucial, because when snow is allowed to accumulate in the street, the freeze-thaw cycle can be very damaging to the pavement. Drainage problems also occur when the gutter area is clogged by snow and ice. The most important factor is safety. Many streets are bordered by parking spaces. Allowing snow to pile up in these areas can create a hazard by forcing parked cars closer and closer to traffic as subsequent storms deposit more snow. Be mindful of months 6 8 that have 31 days. This results in two consecutive days of no parking.
