During heavy snowfalls, city plows push snow into my freshly-cleaned driveway apron. How can I prevent this?

It is the responsibility of the city, county, and state to clear streets for vehicles during and after snowstorms.  Unfortunately, large quantities of snow in the street often end up in driveway aprons.  Property owners are advised to shovel driveway aprons after plows are finished cleaning the street.  If you must shovel, place the snow “downstream” of your driveway so the plow cannot push it back into your driveway apron.  Property owners should also remove their vehicles before a significant snowfall if they are located along snow emergency routes in Rahway or they will be ticketed and/or towed.
