3.4.5 Snow drifts
To reduce the amount of snow blown on the road, in most countries snow-fences are put up
where the phenomena regularly occurs. These fences are e.g. plantation (bushes and trees) for
snow protection or mobile snow-fences. If it is not feasible to put up fences, some mountain
roads are closed during snow drifts.
The machinery used to treat snow drifts are V-blades and snow cutters.
....
The private sector is predominantly focused on
the snow removal sphere (coupling the carriers
to snow ploughs, V-blade, etc.) and partly on road
spreading (lease of truck chassis for demountable
spreaders).
