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 by 7 am on weekdays, and by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays, the following day.
Keep pavements clear of snow to a width of 1.50 m. On streets without a pavement, keep an approximately 1.50 m wide area at the edge of the carriageway clear.
When icy, grit with abrasive materials such as sand, ash or granulate; salt or other de-icing substances are generally not permitted, allowed only in special weather conditions such as freezing rain or at hazardous points such as steps, ramps, bridge access ramps and steep slopes. Tree pits and planted areas must not be gritted with salt.

Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared within two hours of the snowfall or icing ending. Snow and ice arising after 8 pm must be cleared by 7 am on weekdays and by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays the following day.
Keep the pavement clear of snow over the width required for pedestrians, at least 1.20 m. Where carriageway and pavement are not separated (e.g. a play street), keep or grit a strip at least 1.20 m wide at the edges of the road. At public transport and school bus stops, keep the pavement clear of snow and grit it when icy so that boarding, alighting and access are safe.
Salt or other de-icing substances are not permitted, except in specially justified exceptional weather conditions such as freezing rain where abrasive grit is not sufficiently effective, or at hazardous spots such as steps, ramps, bridge access ramps and steep slopes. Tree pits and planted areas must not be gritted with salt or de-icing materials.
