PIERRE, (KCCR) — The South Dakota Department of Transportation is reminding the public to watch where they move snow to and to keep it out of state highway ditches. Pierre Area Engineer Dean Van DeWiele says highway right-of-ways are off-limits for snow removal…
Snow piles in right-of-ways bring plenty of concerns for motorists and the very people clearing state highways of snow…
The penalty for moving snow into a state highway right-of-way is a Class One Misdemeanor that carries a year in jail, but VanDeWiele says the safety of the road is more important to them than the penalty for doing it.
