Slippery roads and snow-covered footpaths not only pose a risk of accidents, they can also cause damage to rocks in the long term. This makes effective clearing by the winter road clearance service all the more important.
The winter road clearance service must ensure that roads and sidewalks remain safe to drive and walk on in icy and snowy conditions by gritting and clearing.
Winter road maintenance must be carried out either by the municipality or by the property owners. It guarantees safe walking and driving on sidewalks and roads by gritting and clearing snow and ice.
The responsibility for winter road maintenance in built-up areas lies with the respective municipalities or towns.
Municipalities or towns can transfer the duty to clear and grit roads to residents by means of bylaws. It should be noted that the transfer must be reasonable.
