The spirit of the regulation is that you should not block the traffic lanes with sidewalk snow: that wastes the plows' work.
Plowing usually creates a ridge of snow spanning the edge of the sidewalk and the edge of the street. If you put your sidewalk-snow onto that ridge, you don't create any more traffic hazard than already existed. I've never gotten ticketed for doing it that way.
