Residents and businesses can help the snow crews by following snow removal guidelines.

If you don't have to drive, don't! However, if you must drive in severe winter weather, be prepared for the worst.

• Leave earlier so you can drive at a safe speed.
• Allow extra distance between your car and the one ahead of you in case something unexpected happens.
• Do not assume because you are exercising caution that other drivers are driving sensibly.
• Have some protective supplies (flashlight, blanket, jumper cables) in your car in case of a breakdown or an accident.
• Try to limit your driving in winter storms if at all possible; the fewer cars there are on the roads, the easier it is for snow removal to be done successfully.

You also can help operations by not parking on the street and by removing all portable basketball goals from the street (more information, see Winter Weather Precautions)
