With wintertime conditions upon us, the Boise County Road & Bridge Department urges drivers to please use caution, especially on curves, shaded areas, and watch for rocks on the roadways. As we all know, the weather and road conditions can change in a very short time.

Pay special attention to all “Chain-up” advisories and observe “No Parking” signs on county roads. Vehicles parked on Boise County Roads not only interfere with snow plowing and sanding and emergency response vehicles, but are also a hazard to the traveling public. Per RESOLUTION #2006-25 A SNOW REMOVAL AND SANDING POLICY FOR BOISE COUNTY, the Boise County Road Department will contact law enforcement for the ticketing and or towing of any vehicles illegally parked.

The primary efforts are on clearing travel ways and Boise County will not be responsible for the berm of snow left in driveways due to the plowing action of a snowblade. The Boise County Road and Bridge Department will contact law enforcement for ticketing those individuals placing snow from private driveways within the public rights of ways pursuant to I.C. § 18-3907.
