A Snowplow Clearing a Mountain Pass

The snowplow truck drives along a mountain road surrounded by steep slopes and a nearby tunnel. Next to the roadway stand a grit bin and a roadside marker to guide drivers through the winter environment.

Interesting Facts About Mountain Snowplows

Snowplows use wide steel or rubber blades set at an angle to push heavy snow off the road surface. High mountain passes often require extra sand or salt stored in roadside bins to help tires gain traction on icy pavement. Mountain tunnels also help shield travelers from sudden avalanches and drifting snowstorms.

Real Colors of Mountain Winter Scenes

  • Snowplow body: Bright orange or yellow for high visibility in storms
  • Mountain slopes: White snow covering gray rock faces
  • Grit bin: Dark green, yellow, or blue plastic
  • Roadside marker: White post with red or black reflective strips
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why are snowplow trucks painted bright colors?
Highway crews use bright yellow or orange paint so that other drivers can easily see the snowplow through thick fog, blowing snow, and heavy daylight winter storms.
What is stored inside a roadside grit bin?
Grit bins hold a mixture of coarse sand and salt. Road crews spread this mixture onto slippery asphalt to melt ice and give vehicle tires better grip on steep inclines.
