Can I push my snow into the roadway for the snowplow to clear?

Ordinance 0604-13 - Lincoln County’s nuisance ordinance prohibits the pushing or piling of snow onto a county road, county highway or county right-of-way. These piles of snow can cause serious injuries or fatalities if hit by a vehicle. They also cost the county funds to remove or push back. Because they can become very solid, and at times contain debris; snow piles can cause serious damage to county snow removal equipment. Any violation of the county ordinance is punishable by 30 days in jail and a $200 fine.
