Drivers can get information on road conditions across Ontario on MTO's website. Information on road conditions is also available by calling the ministry's information line, toll-free at 1-800-268-4686. Don't pass a snowplow CNW ­ The Minister of Transportation is reminding drivers to be patient and stay well back when snowplows are out on the highways. "Some drivers get frustrated when travelling behind a snowplow," said Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield. "I want to remind all drivers that it's important to let snowplow operators clear our roads to help us keep moving safely." It is dangerous to pass a snowplow because: · The large blades extend several feet ahead and to the right of the truck, sometimes blocking the right-hand lane. · Snowplows are wider at the front than they appear to be from the rear. · Even at reduced plowing speeds, light powdery snow forms a cloud that severely restricts visibility. Keep gas meters clear of snow, ice CNW ­ Union Gas is reminding people to clear away snow and ice from their natural gas meters and the external vent pipes from natural gas furnaces, fireplaces, water heaters and clothes dryers. Many parts of Ontario have recently experienced large snowfalls. If you notice your meter or appliance vent pipe is covered with snow, remove the snow carefully with either a brush or broom. Do not scrape your meter or vent pipe with a sharp instrument or kick it in an attempt to clear ice. Don't shovel, plow or blow snow up against the meter or vent pipe amd be careful not to bump your meter. Remove any icicles from overhead eaves troughs to ensure dripping water does not splash and freeze on the meter or vent pipe.
