Snowplows are handy for clearing roads for transportation and clearing parking lots and driveways quickly and efficiently.
While they serve the public and make lives easier, sometimes snowplows can pose a hazard if they accidentally damage a manhole cover.
If a manhole cover is damaged or missing in a populated traffic area, this hazard can pose a serious danger to drivers and pedestrians. You may not think a snowplow could be the cause of such a problem, however sometimes a snowplow can catch the edge of a manhole cover, and damage it or lift it away. Oftentimes, even after the snow melts, manhole covers can be lost.
There is not much that can prevent this from happening, but when it does, it is imperative to remedy the problem or report it to your local municipality or relevant authority before an accident occurs.
