Euskirchen: Property Owners Reminded to Maintain Plants, Ensure Safety
Property owners in Euskirchen are reminded of their responsibilities to maintain plants on their backmarket, ensuring they do not obstruct traffic or pose safety hazards. The Straßenverkehrsamt Euskirchen, located at Jülicher Ring 32, is the authority coordinating such maintenance.
Property owners should keep plants within their boundaries, preventing them from extending into public traffic areas. This includes removing dead wood, checking for sick or dead trees, and securing or removing them if necessary. From October to the end of February, pruning is allowed and encouraged to maintain visibility and safety in traffic. This includes keeping the light space profile over pedestrian and cycle paths at 2.5 meters and over roads at 4.5 meters. Property owners should also ensure sight triangles at junctions and crossings remain clear.
Overhanging branches, wide or high hedges, and plant growth on traffic signs can obstruct traffic flow, endanger pedestrians and cyclists, or restrict visibility. Property owners are obligated to prune back regularly to prevent accidents and liability issues. They should prune hedges and shrubs back to their property boundary.
Property owners in Euskirchen are urged to maintain their plants responsibly, keeping traffic signs clear, sight triangles unobstructed, and light space profiles at safe heights. The Straßenverkehrsamt Euskirchen is available for coordination of urgent maintenance needs.
