Cass County Highway Department concerned about snow drifts on rural roads

(Cass County, ND) -- The Cass County Highway Department says they have been seeing issues with blowing snow and snowdrifts on County roads.

Landowners are being asked not to push snow into the right-of way, which includes the roadway, inslopes, ditch bottoms, backslopes, and around mailboxes of any public roadway, including the portion of the driveway within the public right-of-way.

Officials say keeping snow out of these areas reduces the risk of drifting snow and creates better visibility for motorists and provides room for future snowfall.
