What Does a Snowplow Do?
Snowplows clear snow off roads, driveways, and parking lots so people can travel safely in winter. Their big front blade pushes snow to the side, and some trucks spread salt to help stop ice from forming.

❓ Questions Kids Ask
"Why does the snowplow go so slow?"
Snowplows go slow so the blade can push the snow safely. Going too fast could be slippery and dangerous.
"Where does the snow go?"
The plow pushes snow to the side of the road into piles. Later, big piles might melt, or trucks might move the snow somewhere else.
"What is the salt for?"
Salt helps ice melt and keeps roads from getting too slippery. Some snowplows sprinkle it behind them.
"Can snowplows drive when there's no snow?"
Some trucks can remove or lift the plow blade when it's not winter. During snow season, they keep the plow ready to help.
