Do not abandon your vehicle unless absolutely necessary . However, if you must, leave it as far off the road as possible. Abandoned vehicles, which may be buried or hidden by snow, can greatly hamper snow removal efforts, can be extremely hazardous to snow removal equipment and operators, and can result in damage to the abandoned vehicle. Do not rely on snow removal vehicles to lead you down the street or highway . Some drivers follow snow removal vehicles so closely they do not realize when they are turning around or crossing a median.
Snowplows travel under the speed limit when clearing the roads.
Some accidents have occurred when motorists hit the snowplow truck from the rear. The Idaho Transportation Department's home page features information about highway projects and contracts, vehicle licensing and permits and much more.
