How about the stacks of rolled-up wood snow fences that were posted up on the west side of north/south roads. (snow-belt only)
The County Workers would unroll them and post them up each fall and do the opposite in the spring.
Don't see this done anymore....at least not around here.

.
They still use snowfence fields in NJ, and there are some of those speed limit signs along US1 on the way to key west that reflect different numbers day & Night
