Dangers of high snow banks along roadwaysThe Shelburne Police is reminding everyone to be extra careful around the high snow banks along the roadways. The snow banks are particularly high this winter due to the above normal snowfall. Parents and Children: Do not allow children to play on or around the high snow banks even in quiet residential areas. The dangers of getting seriously injured are significant. Slipping off onto the hard pavement can result in head injuries or broken limbs. Slipping in front of a vehicle or being struck by a snow plow is an even greater danger. It is safer for children to play in back yards or in designated parks. Drivers: High snow banks reduce a driver's ability to see potential dangers. It is important to drive slowly and with clear windows and lights. Be prepared that a child or car could emerge from driveways or walkways that are hidden by the high snow banks. The Shelburne Police is encouraging everyone to do their part in keeping the winter safe and enjoyable for everyone! |
