Why are there signs on the snow plows that say stay back 200 feet?
There are several reasons for the signs and all are related to your safety. Most of the time the plow creates a cloud of snow if you are closer than 200 feet the operator cannot see you in their mirrors. The plow is also sanding the road if you are closer than 200 feet the sand could damage your windshield or car. The County is not responsible for damage if you follow the plow closer than 200 feet.
