Can I install metal markers to define my property line for snow removal purposes?
The Use and Care of Roads By-Law no. 2003-498 prohibits the placement of markers on any portion of a highway, including the boulevard. Snow removal equipment may be damaged by the metal markers used by residents to define their property line for snow removal. As well, posting these markers right at the edge of the roadway may cause more snow to be placed in the travelled portion of the roadway and can compromise safety. Homeowners may continue to define their property line by using wooden markers that should be no larger than a hockey stick.
