You are entering a public road e.g. from a field or building site and considerably soil the road. Who is responsible for eliminating this traffic obstruction?

If you enter a public road from a field or construction site and leave mud or soil on the road, you are responsible for cleaning it up. This is because you have created a hazard that could endanger other road users. German traffic law states that the person who causes an obstruction or danger on the road must remove it. Neither the road authorities nor the residents are responsible in this case. Always ensure you do not leave dirt or debris on the road to maintain safety for everyone.
