Snowplow drivers have been busy so far this winter season.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says that if you must pass a snowplow, to be careful. You are encouraged to stay at least 200 feet behind a working snowplow.

Winter parking rules are in effect and help keep the streets clear, according to the City of Hartford's Public Works Director Tim Puestow.

"The reason for the restriction, is that we try and plow at night. Try and get the streets free of vehicles and it's much easier and more efficient to plow the streets without vehicles parked on the roads. There is an option, you can go to the Hartford Police Department and purchase a winter parking pass."

Winter parking rules provide plows and highway department vehicles with the neccesary space.

No vehicles are allowed to park on City of Hartford streets between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.
