Wernigerode
Monday to Friday from 7 am to 8 pm, Saturdays from 8 am to 8 pm, Sundays and public holidays from 9 am to 8 pm, keep pavements clear of snow and grit them with de-icing-free material when icy. The duty must be repeated during the day if necessary.
Where there is no structurally separated pavement, the edge of the carriageway counts as the pavement to a width of 1.00 to 1.20 m; in pedestrian zones and traffic-calmed areas without a marked pavement, a 1.50 m strip applies. On roads with no pavement at all, the same duty applies to at least 1.50 m at the roadside.
On pavements, salt or other de-icing agents are generally prohibited; allowed only in exceptional weather conditions such as freezing rain, or at hazardous spots such as steps, ramps, bridge approaches and exits, or steep gradients.
Breaches can be fined up to €5,000.
