Snowplowing Across the Roadway

Under Minn. Stat. § 160.27, subd. 5, it is a misdemeanor to deposit snow or ice in a road right-of-way. The law also considers it littering to place snow or ice in a right-of-way, which is punishable as a misdemeanor. Minn. Stat. § 169.42, subd. 1 & 5. If an owner or occupant continually violates these prohibitions, in addition to the cost recovery procedures the legislature made available in Minn. Stat. § 366.016, the board can also consider contacting the sheriff’s department for possible action under the criminal statutes. REMEMBER, THE ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY IS MEASURED AS 30 FEET ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CENTER OF THE ROAD.
