A sneckdown (or snowy neckdown) is a buildup of snow on a road that has not been flattened and cleared by traffic, particularly at an intersection. Because it marks where traffic does not go, a sneckdown may reveal where traffic calming measures such as curb extensions or narrower lanes might be safely implemented.
