Dufferin OPP are reminding motorists and residents to exercise caution around snowplows as winter weather arrives across the region. Snowplows are essential to keeping our roads safe, but the size, weight, and limited visibility of these vehicles can create significant hazards when drivers or homeowners do not give them the space they need to operate.
Snowplows carry large amounts of heavy equipment, can weigh several tonnes, and require extended stopping distances. Passing too closely or attempting to overtake a working plow can be extremely dangerous. The Dufferin OPP urges motorists to stay well back, be patient, and allow operators to clear the roads safely.
