snow route

Cleared street first

A snow route is a street designated as a priority for plowing during winter storms.

Vehicles parked along snow routes are typically subject to towing when snow exceeds a certain depth, allowing plows unobstructed access.

Signs mark these routes in cities that receive regular snowfall: My car got towed—I forgot it was a snow route.
