Town of Aztalan

Please read the below WI Statutes as a reminder to be alert when clearing driveways or other road access areas: 
Wisconsin Statute 346.94(5) prohibits anyone from placing or causing to be placed upon a highway any foreign substance which is or may be injurious to any vehicle. This prohibits anyone from plowing, shoveling or blowing snow onto a public road. A penalty for violating this statute is $50.00 for each offense.
Additionally, Section 86.002 makes is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine to place any obstruction in a road ditch which will impede drainage. As such individuals should not be filling ditches with compacted snow. Furthermore, piles of snow placed in a ditch or shoulder of the road can cause sight distance, drifting and equipment damage problems.
