Raking Leaves

We know that it's dangerous to have leaves along the side of the road in front of your house but is it illegal?

After I got out of work here on Saturday, I went home and pulled the lawnmower out of the garage. I just mowed the lawn last Saturday, but I did it again this week mostly just to get rid of the leaves.   This week, before I started to mow, I noticed there didn't seem to be as many leaves as there were last week. So ...

I hate raking leaves. When I first saw this story I got all excited for a couple of reasons. But, then I read where in Upstate they were doing it.
