Snow and ice arising between 7 am and 8 pm must be cleared without delay after the snowfall or icy conditions end. 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 to the width required for pedestrian traffic, at least 1.50 m. In pedestrian shopping streets, clear and grit a 1.50 m strip from the property boundary. At public transport and school bus stops, ensure safe boarding and alighting and safe access.
Grit pavements with abrasive materials when icy. Salt and other de-icing substances only at particular hazard points (e.g. steps, ramps, bridge approaches, steep slopes) and in special weather-related exceptional cases (e.g. freezing rain) where abrasive materials are not sufficiently effective. Tree pits and planted areas must not be gritted with salt or other de-icing agents.
Breaches of the cleaning or winter maintenance duty are administrative offences, with a fine of between €5 and €1,000.
