Bergisch Gladbach
Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm (Sundays and public holidays 9 am to 8 pm) must be removed immediately after the snowfall ends. Snow falling after 8 pm must be removed by 7 am on weekdays, 9 am on Sundays and public holidays the next morning.
Keep pavements (except narrow kerb strips) clear of snow over a width of 1.50 m and grit them when icy. Where there is no separate pavement (e.g. traffic-calmed areas), a 1.50 m strip from the walkable edge counts as the pavement.
Salt and other de-icing agents are generally banned; they are only allowed in exceptional weather such as freezing rain when abrasive grit is not enough, or at dangerous spots such as steps, ramps and steep slopes. Do not salt tree pits or planted areas or pile salty snow on them.
The duties apply to the pavements and carriageways marked in the street register, to the extent set out there. At public transport and school bus stops, clear and grit so that people can get on and off safely.
The town's bylaw is authoritative: Street cleaning and fees bylaw as amended by the "XX." amending bylaw (ordinal not filled in by the city) of 16 December 2025
