If it were me and some places were using the free ride, I would make sure the plow trucks know where to pile the snow

It's a shame people can't do the honorable thing but this doesn't suprise me. Everybody wants someone else to pay.

You have to look at the legal documents as far as easements go. Even absent an HOA, their can be certain requirements for the maintenance of the easements such as draining and grading.

I can understand if a group wanted to pay for the paving when others where fine with gravel. But the upkeep of the road (plowing, culverts, ditches, etc) should be shared and I would be miffed at people taking the free ride. Certainly worth having an attorney review the documents for the easement.
