Those ploughs are pretty neat. They can work separately, or in tandem. The 
outer sweep is generally used one of two ways: knocking back snow banks from 
previous plough passes, thus making room for more snow; or channeling the snow 
from the front blade off to the side. You can cut a wider path that way. One 
four-lane roads, we often see two trucks in formation, one slightly ahead of 
the other, passing the snow from the outer truck's front blade to the side 
sweep to the front blade of the trailing truck and off his sweep to the side of 
the highway. It's a wonder to behold.
