The town I lived in you were responsible for shoveling and the overall condition of the sidewalk. It was something like $200 fine for not shoveling. I imagine there are probably many cities with similar laws.

Yeah, but the sidewalk’s like 1/10 the work of the driveway, if that. Heavier the snow the bigger the difference, too, since you have to move the snow so far from the middle to reach the side of the driveway.
I just shovel a path up my driveway to my house so no one slips. I don't think there was a fine for driveways.
The most effort is the bottom of the driveway where the snow plow packed in the snow.
