Kleve
Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm (9 am to 8 pm on Sundays and public holidays) must be cleared immediately after snowfall ends. Snow falling after 8 pm: the next day by 7 am on weekdays, by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
Keep pavements clear of snow over a width of 1.50 m. A 1.50 m strip from the walkable edge of the street also counts as pavement on streets intended for pedestrians, in particular in traffic-calmed areas and pedestrian zones.
When icy, grit with abrasive or de-icing agents, abrasive grit first. Salt and other de-icing agents should only be used in exceptional weather (e.g. freezing rain) and at dangerous spots such as steps, ramps or steep slopes. Do not put salt on tree pits or planted areas.
The duties apply to the roadways and pavements marked in the street register, to the extent set out there.

Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared immediately after snowfall ends. Snow falling after 8 pm: the following day by 7 am Monday to Friday, by 8 am on Saturdays, by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
Keep pavements clear of snow over about one metre and grit them when icy. In traffic-calmed areas and on streets without a pavement, keep safe the side strip of the roadway that pedestrians normally use. In pedestrian zones, clear and grit a 1.50 m strip; the city looks after the central area.
Salt and other de-icing agents are generally banned on pavements, allowed only in exceptional weather (e.g. freezing rain) and at dangerous spots such as steps, ramps or steep slopes. Do not put salt on tree pits or planted areas.
On the streets listed in columns 3 and 4 of the street register, also clear the roadway after heavy snowfall and grit dangerous spots and pedestrian crossings when icy. Breaches can be fined up to €1,000.
