NYS Thruway Authority prepares ahead of weekend snow storm

Snow plows keep New York moving in winter... but too many drivers make the same dangerous mistakes. Here are the do’s and don’ts when you see a plow on the road: ✅ DO give them plenty of space ✅ DO slow down, visibility is limited ✅ DO stay back (at least 200 feet) 🚫 DON’T pass a plow on the right 🚫 DON’T tailgate, flying snow and salt is no joke 🚫 DON’T try to squeeze between multiple plows Snowplow operators are doing critical work. Help keep everyone safe by driving smart. #NewYorkWinter #
