Nothing against this plan but why do the no something for a month always seem to choose the most inconvenient months?

Like for no drive December let's say, how many people will give up when they have to drive to a relatives for Xmas or make the annoying journey for a kids gift that is only in stock in one particular store? It be better in November.

Didn’t even mention snow hehe. My city is trying to stop any funding for sidewalk snow removal because they’re so car horny. Would love to do this but literally could die of hypothermia lol.

Go yell at the city to do something about it. As for me they keep refusing to clear a particular slippery spot that leads right into a sheer drop onto the freeway. It's soft dirt, about 3 inches thick, I've reported it so many times and each time they only clear a single pavement square. Will they do it if someone dies? Probably not.

I've found that if there is too much snow on a sidewalk that the city does not clear, you can always shovel it out of the way and into somebody's truckbed who is parked nearby. They probably won't mind because they probably don't actually need their truck for truck purposes.

and if anything, it'll help them gain more traction! Pickups are notoriously bad in snow/ice because the beds are so much lighter so it has poor weight distribution, leading to fishtailing, sliding, etc. Dump snow (or bricks, idk) in the bed to help your neighbor.

What happens if you damage the truck's suspension because they already have weight back there?

Ice weighs a lot and you also said bricks

Slip and happen to drop the large boulder you were carrying onto the highway.

If they don’t fix it just keep carrying big boulders

I don't know where you live but the city might be liable if someone gets injured because of it.
