Your vehicle has left a considerable amount of dirt on the carriageway, causing a risk to road traffic. What do you have to do?

According to German traffic rules, if your vehicle leaves significant dirt on the road that could pose a hazard to other road users, you are required to take immediate action to ensure safety. This includes cleaning up the dirt without delay to remove the danger. Additionally, until the cleaning is done, you must properly mark the dangerous spot—using warning signs or signals—to alert other drivers and prevent accidents. Simply leaving the dirt unattended, even if it seems noticeable, is not sufficient because other drivers may not react in time. Following these steps helps maintain road safety and prevents potential accidents caused by slippery or obstructed surfaces.
