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?

When entering a public road from a field or construction site and causing debris or soil to accumulate on the road, the responsible party for cleaning it up is generally the person or party that caused the obstruction. This is usually grounded in the principle of responsibility for damage or hazards created by one's actions, as stated in German traffic regulations.

In this case, while you are responsible for the immediate cleanup, it's also important to acknowledge that the road-building authority is tasked with maintaining public roads and may need to be informed or involved in addressing the situation. Thus, recognizing both your responsibility and the role of the road authority gives a fuller picture of how such situations should be handled according to traffic laws.

In summary, understanding the combined responsibilities ensures that accidents can be minimized and the road remains safe and usable for everyone.
