Snowplows drive slowly, stop and exit frequently, and occasionally overlap lanes. Michigan law requires drivers to maintain a distance of at least 200 feet (about 12 car lengths) when driving behind snowplows that have their lights on and are actively salting, sanding, or plowing roads. This rule does not apply when drivers are attempting to pass a snowplow. The law also requires drivers to stop at least 20 feet behind a snowplow at an intersection. Stay back and give them plenty of room. For more winter-driving safety tips, visit Michigan.gov/WinterDriving.
