Bensheim
Clear and grit between 7 am and 8 pm, without delay whenever it snows.
Clear pavements and crossings wide enough that traffic is not obstructed more than unavoidable; in icy conditions grit pavements across their full width and depth. Clear an access at least 1.25 m wide to the road and to the property entrance.
Grit mainly with sand, chippings and similar material. Salt only in small amounts against compacted ice and snow residues, and never near trees, shrubs or watercourses.
Where there is a pavement on one side only, owners on the pavement side are responsible in years ending in an even number, owners on the opposite side in years ending in an odd number.
