Respect snow plows OPP ask There are lots of things to consider while driving in winter weather conditions, one of which is the slow moving snowplow up ahead in the line of traffic on area highways. Snowplows by their very design can cause exten- sive damage or even death if involved in a collision. It isnt uncommon on multi lane highways to encounter plows staggered side by side traveling between 65km/ hr to 75km/hr clearing the highway in one sweep. The average speed of a plow is well below the posted speed limit. This is because the truck has to slow down to clear the roadway safely. Ahead of the plow is usually an un- treated and often very slippery roadway; and passing a snow plow can be a risky maneuver. It is important for all motorists to allow plow oper- ators the room to work to avoid a potentially deadly collision. Be patient, slow down and ensure you are well prepared for winter roads and always adjust your speed to the existing conditions. Arrests in Rockwood Break and Enters Two Kitchener men have been arrested and charged in connection with a spate of break-ins in Wellington County over the past few months.
