Snowplow safety: What Public Works wants drivers to know this winter
The snow has brought a seasonal troubling reminder: five North Dakota snowplows were hit by drivers rushing to get around them. Public Works crews say those collisions don’t just damage equipment—they slow down efforts to clear the very roads everyone is trying to use. Operators describe the challenges inside the cab: swirling snow that blinds visibility, heavy blades that can shift unexpectedly, and blind spots big enough to hide a car. Their message is simple and urgent—give plows space, stay several car lengths back, and let them do the work that keeps everyone moving. Megan Topping with KX News has the full story.
