The Marshall Police Department  advises these winter driving tips for when snow plows are at work:
1. Give plows space.
2. Don’t pass plow trucks; if necessary, stay clear of the snow plume.
3. Plows operate below speed limits; drive patiently.
4. Watch for snow clouds; wait for visibility before passing.
5. Different weather requires different treatments; maintain distance during salt/sand application.
6. Beware of persistent slippery conditions, especially in specific areas.
7. Be patient with changing road conditions; drive without cruise control.
8. Minimize distractions; focus on driving without cell phones.
9. Plan ahead; check conditions before traveling for work or appointments.
