Krefeld
Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared immediately after snowfall ends, several times a day if needed. Snow falling after 8 pm: by 7 am on weekdays, by 8 am on Sundays and public holidays the following day.
Keep pavements clear of snow over the width needed by pedestrians, at least 1 m. A 1.00 m strip from the walkable edge of the street also counts as pavement on streets intended for pedestrians, in particular in traffic-calmed areas.
Salt and other de-icing agents are banned on pavements. Do not put salt on tree pits or planted areas. Remove abrasive grit once the icy spell is over.
All adjoining owners are responsible for winter service on pavements; on roadways only where the street register says so (as a rule in cleaning class VIII). Breaches can be fined up to €1,000.

Snow falling and ice forming between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared immediately once the snowfall or icing has ended. Snow falling and ice forming after 8 pm must be cleared the following day: by 7 am on weekdays, by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
Keep pavements clear of snow to a width of at least 1.50 m, or their actual width where narrower. Where winter maintenance of the carriageway is assigned, grit marked pedestrian crossings, crossing aids and crossings at road junctions.
Road salt and other de-icing substances are generally banned on pavements, allowed only at hazardous points such as steps, passages, bridge access ramps and steep slopes, or in exceptional weather such as freezing rain, where abrasive materials alone are not enough. Tree pits and planted areas must not be gritted with salt or other de-icing agents.
Breaches are regulatory offences and may be punished with a fine of up to €1,000.
