Koblenz
Weekdays (Monday to Saturday) 7 am to 8:30 pm, Sundays and public holidays 9 am to 8:30 pm: clear snow and ice from pavements without delay and grit away icy patches.
Clear and grit pavements to a width of 1.50 m, even where the municipal service company cleans them. Where there is no pavement, a 1.50 m strip along the property boundary counts as pavement.
Grit with sand, ash or other abrasive material. Use salt only against ice, in small amounts and as a rule not under tree canopies; remove residue without delay once thawed.
Owners' winter duty also covers pedestrian crossings (except across carriageways in streets of traffic classes B and C) and the carriageways of the side streets listed in the street register. Breaches: fine of up to €500.
