Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared immediately. Snow falling or ice forming after 8 pm must be cleared by 7 am on weekdays, or by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
Keep the pavement clear of snow to the width required for pedestrian traffic. Where there is no pavement, keep a strip at least 1.50 m wide along the property towards the middle of the street clear.
Salt on pavements is generally not permitted, only exceptionally in special hazards such as extreme weather conditions and at particularly dangerous spots, where no other way of removing the hazard exists. Tree pits and planted areas must not be gritted with salt, and salt-laden snow must not be deposited there.
