NOTICE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY LAWS
pertaining to Snow Removal

For reasons of liability, it is necessary for Spink County to enforce the state laws that protect the county right-of-ways. Anyone who compromises the roadway or its right-of-way can be charged, based on SDCL 31-32-7 and other state laws, with up to a Class 6 felony.

Spink County residents are reminded they cannot push snow from their driveways into the right-of-way of county roads. Putting snow in the right-of-way is a misdemeanor, but the real concern is the problems it poses for equipment operators. Extra snow in ditches means more drifting along roads and hard piles of snow along the right of way can cause serious injury to operators and snow equipment, as well as the public.

While it is easy to push snow across the road or into a ditch at the side of the driveway, landowners need to find other places for it as the right-of-way is designed for traffic safety.

This law will be strictly enforced and Spink County Officials ask for your cooperation in this matter.
