Examples of passable roads

Passable by a front-wheel-drive vehicle

The City of Columbia plows and treats residential streets to a passable condition: Although a street may still be snow packed, at least one travel lane is accessible for a front wheel drive vehicle at driving speeds well below the normal posted speed limits. Your vehicle’s condition and your driving skills may determine your ability to navigate roads defined as passable.
