Operator Safety

Driver Awareness

Slow down when traveling near poles,

posts, or other obstacles. Be especially

alert if you’re snowmobiling after dark.

Always be on the alert for wire fences.

Single strands are especially dangerous,

since there may be a great distance

between posts. Guy wires on utility poles

are also difficult to distinguish.
Make sure the way is clear before crossing

railroads and other roads and highways.

The noise of your snowmobile will drown

out the sound of approaching vehicles.

Look ahead, behind, and to both sides

before turning or crossing railroad tracks

or highways. Steep embankments may

also hide your view. Always leave yourself

a way out.
Variances in snow depth and/or water currents may result in uneven ice

thickness. You may drown if you break through the ice. Avoid travelling

on frozen bodies of water.
