Steinfurt
Remove snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm without delay. Anything after 8 pm by 7 am the next day on weekdays, by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
Keep pavements clear of snow to a width of 1.50 m. A 1.50 m walking strip from the usable edge of the street also counts as pavement where pedestrians use the street, e.g. in traffic-calmed areas.
Grit in icy or snowy conditions. Salt and other de-icers are banned in principle, allowed only in exceptional cases such as freezing rain or at dangerous spots such as steps and ramps; never on tree pits or planted areas.
Clearing and gritting pavements is the responsibility of the owners of the adjoining properties, except for town-owned properties. Winter maintenance of roads is excluded from the transfer to owners.
The town's bylaw is authoritative: Street cleaning and fees bylaw of 12 December 2011, last amended by the 13th supplement of 12 December 2025
