Grit with abrasive materials (e.g. ash, sand, chippings). Rock salt, denatured salt and other de-icers are banned; breaches: fine of up to €500.
Owners keep the duty to clear and grit even in pedestrian zones and where the city cleans the pavements. In the streets listed in Annex 1 it also covers the half of the carriageway in front of the property.
