Deposit of Snow on Roadways and Sidewalks

  • Citizens are reminded that the Highway Traffic Act prohibits any person from depositing snow or ice on a roadway.
  • The fine for violation of this offence is $85.00 plus a victim surcharge of $20.00.
  • Please refrain from depositing snow on public sidewalks as it makes it very dangerous for pedestrian traffic.

The two parking violations, as well as the depositing of snow or ice on a roadway violation under the Highway Traffic Act, will be enforced by the Hanover Police Service. Please co-operate with the Department of Public Works staff by keeping your vehicle off the street when it appears that snow clearing will be done and to refrain from depositing snow and ice on the roadway. Citizens are reminded not to deposit snow on public sidewalks as it makes pedestrian traffic very dangerous.
