Is there a “right” way to shovel the driveway or sidewalk?

Yes there sure is! 

When shoveling your sidewalk or driveway please do not shovel it onto the roadway. We recommend shoveling the snow onto your yard to the right of your driveway when facing the road to ensure that the plow does not push the snow back onto your sidewalk and driveway.

In many cases this will reduce the amount of snow that gets pushed back onto your driveway from the snow plow.
