Euskirchen: Property Owners Urged to Maintain Greenery for Road Safety
Property owners in Euskirchen are reminded of their responsibilities regarding greenery maintenance to ensure safety and clear visibility, especially during the upcoming months. The Road Traffic Authority (Straßenverkehrsamt) is the responsible body for urgent cases.
From October to February, property owners should prune hedges, shrubs, trees, and reed stands. This includes removing dead or sick trees and branches that could cause accidents. Overhanging branches and excessively wide or tall hedges can obstruct traffic flow and endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
Property owners must keep sight triangles at junctions and crossings clear, ensuring street lamps' light cones and traffic signs are free of growth. Failure to do so may result in unauthorized special use and liability for any damage or accidents caused by neglected greenery.
The Road Traffic Authority (Straßenverkehrsamt) in Euskirchen, located at Jülicher Ring 32, is the point of contact for acute danger cases involving tree, shrub, and hedge trimming. Property owners are urged to comply with these regulations to maintain safety and clear visibility on roads and public spaces.
