React the same as you would to any other motor vehicle.

Assume they will allow you to have the right-of-way.

Come to a complete stop until they are out of your line of sight.

Yield the right-of-way to snowplows engaged in work on the roads. Use extra caution in approaching, overtaking, or passing maintenance vehicles and snowplows. Because of their traveling speed and size, snowplows tend to create large clouds of blowing snow that conceal the plow, making it invisible.

Brown.

Signs that are brown indicate areas of cultural and historical significance or of public recreation. They can be a helpful resource when traveling in unfamiliar locations.

Regulatory signs.
