Pavements covered with snow or ice should be fully or at a minimum width of 1.50 m (taking into account the width of the footpath) cleared or made slip-resistant.

The snow has to be moved to the edge of the pavement and should not be heaped or thrown on the road. The sewer and street gutters must remain free.

The persons mentioned in Article 13 of the General police regulation are obliged to do this:

• the owner and co-owner
• each holder of a right in the building
• the tenant or the concierge, porter, guardian or person responsible for the daily maintenance of the buildings
