Road safety: Cut bushes correctly to ensure clear paths

Road safety: Cut bushes correctly to ensure clear paths

The city administration reminds citizens that it is time to trim their bushes and trees. This is not just a question of aesthetics, but also an important measure for road safety. When branches and twigs extend into the traffic area, they can impair the visibility of drivers and pedestrians, especially in wet weather conditions when visibility is already limited.

The responsibility for cutting back these plants lies with the property owners. It is important that the overhanging branches are removed in a timely manner to avoid accidents. In addition, all traffic signs that are covered by plants must be cut free. This ensures that all road users receive the necessary information and travel safely.

Cutting height specifications

The city has set clear guidelines for the required cutting heights. A clear height of at least 2.50 meters should be maintained on sidewalks, while a height of 4.50 meters is required for streets. These heights are important to ensure that both pedestrians and vehicles can pass unhindered.

There is a practical solution for disposing of the cut material: citizens can hand in their cut branches and bushes free of charge to the collection point for woody garden waste at the recycling center. This not only makes disposal easier, but also contributes to cleanliness and order in the city.

The city administration appeals to all citizens to fulfill their responsibilities and take the necessary measures. A well-maintained garden and properly trimmed shrubs are not only an asset to your own property, but also to the entire neighborhood.
