Plow drivers can t run red lights, but drivers are their biggest hazard January 17, 2021 6:02pm Text size Copy shortlink:
When the snow falls, plows are dispatched to help keep motorists moving.
Drive reader Dan said he is appreciative of plow drivers efforts, but he wondered if they have to follow traffic rules when clearing snow.
He was behind two snowplows while heading west on 85th Avenue in Brooklyn Park during a late December snowfall. When the plows one in each lane arrived at Zachary Lane, they stopped for a red light. But since there were no vehicles on Zachary Lane, the plow drivers proceeded through the intersection against a red light.
