IMO melting it would be a bad idea. Also, it is against the law in many places to put the snow back onto the street.

shovel or snowblow all the snow from the street before your driveway on your side of the street. move the snow to the the side of your driveway furthest from the direction of snowplow travel. when the plow comes, it will plow snow away from your driveway.

I grew up in a Montreal suburb where the Town did a nice job of plowing the snow to the middle of the road. There was a snowblower truck right behind which blew the stuff to the lawn. No plow in. Nice clean roads.

I now live in a Toronto suburb where they do this driveway plow evil. The city says on their website that they will clean the snow from end of driveways if you are old or physically challenged.

I suspect they dont do it the Montreal-way for cost reasons.

Perhaps run for municipal office on this platform. Ad to that a by-law forbiding Christman lights after March 30th, and I am on the ticket.

Snow gets plowed into your driveway because it is the cheapest, most efficient way to open the roads to travel after a snowfall event. Public works officials are told by the taxpayers to hold down costs, so, the snow you have to remove could be viewed a tax savings.

The only places I have seen municiple removal of snow from driveways has been in smaller towns. Also, if a larger municipallity did do driveway snow removal for everyone the big beef would be that it wasn't done fast enough or the removal was done at an inconvenient time. (This already happens with regular snow plow operations.) No one wants to be last but someone has to be. Hint:If you want to be first to be plowed buy a house near the city shops. Most cities have the plow drivers plowing as they leave the storage barn.

There are devices available that act as gates on the end of the plow to stop the snow from filling driveways. Some of the problems are expense, they significantly slow down the removal operation, and they work best on end loaders because the operator has to be able to see where to open & close the gate. (Which larger citys don't keep a lot of. Larger cities tend to use trucks.)

If all roads were designed wider or with an island in the middle the snow could be plowed there.The problem with this would be that it would more or less create barriers to getting in your driveway if you came from the wrong direction.Either option would take more space and developers want to sell more lots, not create space that can't be sold. It could be legislated but the net effect would be to raise the price of a building lot. Additionally, if islands were created there would be the problem of mowing them in the summer.

Probably best to buy a big snowblower. Then offer your services to the neighborhood for a reasonable cost.

If this really cheeses you off this much you could try to find employment in a location with

A) less snow, such as the Southwestern US, Central America, North Africa, the Pacific Islands, etc.

B) no driveways, such as Manhattan- subway tunnels don't typically use snowplows

C) Different snowplow service that doesn't do this

Or you could just shovel/snowblow it and go to work.

1) Get snow truck blades to dam the plow for the short distances across driveways. Perhaps a hydraulic actuated plate that works off a camera. A green reflector sticking up indicates the beginning of a driveway, a red reflector sticking up indicates the other side of the driveway.
2) If you have the resources, make a entry gate robust enough to deflect the snow when the plow comes by and clear the snow when it opens outward.

3) If you had a large ditch on either side of your driveway, you might put a teflon coated sheet across your entrance. That way when the snow plow came by maybe the inertia of the snow would carry it into the ditch.
