Please help us help you. The objective of Mount Laurel Township is to provide winter roadway safety to the traveling public in the most reasonable, efficient and effective manner. We are requesting your help during snow and ice removal operations during and after the storm. We ask that you follow these simple suggestions:

• Please limit travel during snow storms to trips that are necessary. Once roads have been plowed and salted, the potential for accidents is greatly reduced.

• Please park your vehicles in your driveways and off the road. If you must park on the street, try to park on one side of the street only and do not nose-in park at the dead-end of cul-de-sacs. Parked cars hinder the speed and efficiency of our snow removal operation. Parking bans are in effect on the designated snow emergency routes below. Vehicles may only be parked in authorized areas. Vehicles parked in unauthorized areas may be towed.

• Snow plows are designed to remove snow from the roadway to the edge of the road. It is likely that the plow will leave behind a window of snow in front of your driveway. Residents are responsible for removing this snow. Additionally, when you remove snow from the driveway apron please push it to the right as you look from your driveway to the street. This will further help eliminate the possibility of your driveway being plowed in again.

• Please do not plow snow from your driveways and walk ways into the road. Please pile the snow in your yard. Remember, you are also responsible for your snow removal contractor’s actions.

• When snow plows are used during snow falls, the initial pass of the snow plow is made to open up the road for traffic flow. The following passes will push the snow to the curb line or road edge. This is necessary in order to allow for the drainage of melting snow into catch basins and to allow more space to plow future snow accumulations.

• To avoid salt hitting your vehicle while driving, move away from the center of the road when you see a salt truck approaching from the opposite direction. Salt trucks are designed to deposit more salt near the center of the road as the salt works its way to the road edge as traffic runs over it. Please try to stay back approximately 200 feet from the rear of a truck while its deploying the material.

• To insure that your mailbox is not damaged during snow plowing operations, your mailbox must be 42” above the ground and the front face of the mailbox door must be no less than 10” from the front face of the curb or road edge.

• Remove your portable basketball hoops and trailers from the street and place it on your property

• When calling the Public Works Department, please keep messages simple and direct. Be certain to state your name, phone number, the problems you are calling about, and its location.

• Please keep sidewalks clear, storm drains, mail boxes and adopt a fire hydrant if it is located near your house. Residents are asked to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours after a snow & ice event. The hydrant is there for your protection and it may be several days after a storm before they can be cleared.
