$110 Fine For Depositing Snow on Roadways from Private Property

The Ontario Provincial Police would like to remind residents to please refrain from

depositing snow on the roadway when clearing snow from driveways. This can create

a traffic hazard and interfere with the public’s safe and clear passage of a roadway.

This is an offence under section 181 of the Highway Traffic Act which states” No person

shall deposit snow or ice on a roadway without permission in writing to do so from the

Ministry or the road authority responsible for the maintenance of the road.”

Contravention of section181 of the HTA could result in a fine of $110.00.
