Also, do not park your vehicle at the very end of a driveway or across the sidewalk/ boulevard area. Plow operators are not able to do their job properly if there are parked vehicles in the way. Remember, there is no parking allowed on municipal roads from 2:00 am to 7:00 am from Labour Day to Victoria Day. • Don’t place snow from your sidewalk or driveway on the street. It creates a hazard for vehicles and it is against the rules in the Highway Traffic Act. • If you are on a rural road, don’t put your waste bins directly across from your mailbox if snowbanks are already narrowing the roadway. • Keep a safe distance from plow trucks on the roads and do not attempt to pass. Vehicles trying to pass plows create a safety risk for everyone on the road. • If you have a fire hydrant on or around your property, please clear the snow to ensure Middlesex Centre Fire Services can access the hydrant in case of emergency. If you have any questions about winter roads maintenance, visit middlesexcentre.ca/roads or call us at 519-666-0190.

Middlesex Centre – Municipal Minute Keeping Winter Roads Safe
HAVE YOUR SAY We maintain our roads and sidewalks according to provincial guidelines. After a snowfall ends, it can take 12 hours to clear priority roads, 24 hours to clear all municipal roads, and 48 hours to clear sidewalks. We clear sidewalks to a snow-packed condition as the snow equipment does not allow for clearing down to bare pavement. Middlesex Centre’s 24/7 roads crew keeps the municipality’s 603 km of roads and 37 km sidewalks cleared throughout the winter season. HOW CAN YOU HELP AFTER A SNOW EVENT? • Be patient. In heavy snowfalls, it takes us longer to get all our roads cleared. • Be a good neighbour. Help those who may not be able to shovel their driveways and sidewalks. Winter Parking Reminder –– No parking on municipal roads between 2 am and 7 am
