3. (3) Other state road sections may be closed for the winter/or not receive snow removal services, if the Region Director determines that it is not cost effective to provide snow removal services.
4. (4) The removal of the normal snowfall and windrows on private road approaches, both on and off the highway right-of-way, is a responsibility of the property owner. When clearing these approaches, the property owner shall not push or pile the snow onto the state right-of-way. Within towns and where curb and gutter exist, the normal parking area off the travel lane may be used for snow storage by state forces. If it is desired to remove this snow, it shall be the responsibility of the city, county or the adjacent property owner. The state shall not haul snow off the roadway except where removal by other means is impracticable.

The purpose of this rule is to indicate where and when the Utah Department of Transportation will provide snow removal services. This rule is enacted under the general rulemaking authority in Section 72-1-201.
