 4.  Snow.  A person may not place and allow to remain on a public way snow or slush that has not accumulated there naturally.  

Please do not shovel, blow snow, or have your driveway plowed into or across the road. This is prohibited by law and can cause serious traffic hazards.  If possible, it is best to place snow on the side of your driveway opposite ( i.e., downstream from) the direction traveled by the plow. Snow on that side of your driveway will be carried away from the driveway rather back into your driveway.
