If snow has fallen overnight, clear it by 7 am on weekdays and by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays; in icy conditions grit from these times. Repeat as needed until 9 pm.
Pavements and shared cycle and footpaths narrower than 1.50 m fully, otherwise at least 1.50 m wide; where there is no pavement, a strip of the carriageway at least 1.50 m wide on both sides. In pedestrian zones, clear up to the middle of the street.
As a rule, grit with sand or other abrasive materials; harmful chemicals are banned. Road salt only in exceptional cases where other means are not enough, and at dangerous spots such as steps and ramps; never on tree pits and planted areas.
Breaches can be punished with a fine of up to €5,000.
