Why does the plow not remove all the snow from my road?

The plows are designed to ride on “shoes” that raise the blade approximately one inch from the roadway surface. This is done to prevent damage to both the vehicle and the infrastructure from raised manholes, catch basins or water valves.  Streets with low traffic volumes will therefore remain snow covered for longer periods of time.
