Winter road maintenance 2024/2025 - figures, data, facts and tasks

Which roads, paths and squares are maintained by the city of Erlangen in winter is determined annually in a winter service plan. Unfortunately, it is not possible to maintain all roads, paths and squares in the city area simultaneously and immediately as part of the winter service. The winter service is therefore carried out according to the following priorities:

1st priority

Winter service on roadways:

Duty to clear and grit

  • 273 km of main urban roads (priority 1)
  • 48 km of school routes/industrial areas (priority 2)
  • 209 km of shared/separate footpaths/cycle paths
  • 423 bus stops
  • 143 traffic lights
  • 246 crosswalks
  • 55 crossings
  • 39 stairways
  • 26 parks and public squares and footpaths on municipal properties

2nd priority

Winter road maintenance:

Clearing and gritting service for roads that have no traffic significance in terms of jurisdiction but have special structural danger points and routes with higher traffic volumes but without structural danger points, e.g. schools, kindergartens, etc.

3rd priority

Clearing and gritting service for secondary routes and residential roads, as far as technical and personnel resources are available (for ecological reasons, only grit and granulate is used).

What do you or the citizens have to do?

Roads and cycle paths are maintained by the City of Erlangen. Public footpaths are the responsibility of the property owners. They must clear the sidewalks of snow from 7:00 a.m. on working days and from 8:00 a.m. on Sundays and public holidays. In the event of slippery snow, frost or ice, sidewalks must be gritted or cleared of ice using suitable de-icing agents (e.g. sand, grit) - but not with salt or other corrosive substances. De-icing salt may be spread on steps or in icy rain. These safety measures must be repeated by 8 p.m. as often as is necessary to prevent danger to life, health, property or possessions. What you have to do in detail is regulated by the street cleaning ordinance. You can find the winter safety obligations in the information sheet on street cleaning and winter services (see Environmental Aid).
