Vehicles blocking traffic or interfering with snow removal equipment are towed at the direction of the Arapahoe County Sheriff. Should your car be towed, contact the Sheriff's Office Dispatcher, 303-795-4711, to determine the whereabouts of your vehicle.

Should an emergency arise, contact the 911 operator. Equipment will be diverted for emergencies ONLY WHEN AUTHORIZED BY THE 911 CENTER OR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. (It is illegal to make a false emergency request.)

The County does not remove snow from sidewalks or pedestrian walkways. Citizens are encouraged to shovel walks adjacent to their homes as a courtesy to their neighbors and for the safety of pedestrians.

Drive with caution and anticipate delays. Don't drive unless you have to.
Be patient. It is impossible to clear all the roads immediately. Do not attempt to stop a snow plow or obstruct its path. Plows must maintain speed for maximum efficiency. Equipment operators often work long hours under trying conditions. They appreciate courteous and friendly drivers. Please help them to help you. Don't push or shovel snow into the street. It is illegal to place snow from private drives or parking lots onto public rights-of-way. Be understanding. The County is doing its best to provide you the service you need.

Plowing is done on a priority basis as defined in a preceding section. Clearing of priority roadways opens routes into all residential areas, usually within a few blocks of each residence. The clearing of routes to each and every residence is limited by the amount of equipment and personnel.
