Limbach-Oberfrohna
The duties apply from 7 am to 8 pm, on Sundays and public holidays from 9 am to 8 pm, without delay whenever it snows.
Clear pavements wide enough for people to pass each other and grit them across their full width when icy, unpaved pavements to a depth of 1.50 to 2 m from the property boundary. Clear an access to the road and to the property entrance at least 1.25 m wide. Where there is no pavement on either side, a 1.5 m strip at the edge of the road counts as pavement.
Grit mainly with sand, chippings or similar materials and remove residues after the frost period at the latest. Salt should only be used in small amounts against compacted ice and snow and on black ice.
Breaches can be fined up to five hundred euros.

Hohenstein-Ernstthal
The duties apply from 7 am to 8 pm and must be carried out without delay whenever it snows. Removal of snow that fell and ice that formed after 8 pm must begin by 7 am on weekdays and by 9 am on Sundays and public holidays.
When it snows, clear pavements and bus or tram stops wide enough that traffic is not impeded more than unavoidable. Where there is no pavement on either side, a 1.5 m strip at the edge of the road counts as pavement.
Grit pavements and accesses to the road with salt-free materials, never ash or coal slack. Road salt only exceptionally where there is a risk of extreme ice (freezing rain), never on tree pits or planted areas.
Sweep up grit after the snow has melted; the municipal depot removes it free of charge. Breaches can be fined up to €500.
