Yes, that's how you do your own lane. But when the road crews can't plow until a blizzard of 30"+ snow ends a plow man is stranded from his contracts. Will get stuck if he tries to make his way. I used to contract plow and had to travel to my jobs. Even in a tall truck the plow would deter travel. Carrying the plow unmounted would be my best bet, but bed was full of Urea. If it was only one site I had to plow I would have gone in advance and wait it out. I charged a flat price per site per 3-4" of snow. An 8" snow, even on lots I only hit at 8" one time, got billed double. but the idea was hit at every 3-4. Hard to do with multiple sites. Plowing at 8" is double the wirk and double the stress on equipment, I'd often have to argue.

When we had back to back 30"+ snows, 1 day between, I had my driveway cleared, 8' banks on both sides (hand shoveled), and was left waiting another day for the 5'+ on my road to be plowed. When I had my plow, me and the dairy farmer across the road would plow the road ahead of the county so the milk hauler could get in
