Paint must comply with The Division requires minimum operational clear zones for snow storage along the -side of the road based on the posted speed limit. The requirement of an operational clear zone for snow storage,allows the Division .to.efficiently clear roads of snow and help maintain the road's traffic carrying capacity. Inadequate snow storage will reduce lane widths., adversely affect traffic handling capacity of the road and prevent trucks from using the partially blocked traffic lane. Roads that are not cleared of snow along the curb to the storm drain can also cause drainage problems when the snow melts. The Division may require that the Municipality obtain an easement if there is inadequate snow storage available within the right of way as a result of landscape/streetscape structure placement. In areas where landscape/streetscape structures cause inadequateroom to store snow off the road, the Municipality will be required to either move or haul away the snow (see Introduction for legal liability and maintenance requirements).
