Clear snow from pavements and pedestrian crossings without delay, and overnight snow by the start of general traffic hours. Grit pavements several times if needed.
The pavement counts as the walkway; if it is wider than 1.50 m or there is none, a 1.50 m strip along the property boundary. Pedestrian crossings are 1.50 m wide strips of carriageway at junctions.
Grit with abrasive materials (ash, sand, sawdust). Salt is not permitted as a rule, only if abrasive materials are not enough on ice and snow residue; remove residue without delay once thawed.
Pile cleared snow so that it does not obstruct traffic or drainage; keep gutters clear when it thaws. Breaches: fine of up to €5,000.
