Traffic incidents are dangerous — not only for those who have crashed, but also for police officers, first responders, HELP truck operators and other motorists. In minor crashes where there are no injuries and you can still drive your car, you can improve safety for everyone by pulling off to the side of the road. #SteerItClearIt | New York State Department of Transportation

Have you ever seen a tow plow? It's a standard plow truck with an extra plow towed behind it. The operator can swing the extra plow out to the side to clear snow from two lanes at once. Here's a peek inside the special training our operators receive. More info at: https://on.ny.gov/39pm6Wr | New York State Department of Transportation

🚧 Ever wonder how we widen a road? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look from Campbell Blvd in Amherst, NY. Widening a road isn’t just about putting down more pavement; it takes careful planning, coordination, and timing. Watch as nearly a dozen trucks work in sync to feed material for a smooth, consistent shoulder. Once that’s done, we’ll come back to pave over the newly expanded section. | New York State Department of Transportation
