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

Cleaning up dirt on the carriageway without delay is essential to ensure the safety of all road users. If dirt or debris is present, it poses a risk of accidents, especially if drivers do not see it in time. In addition, properly indicating the point of danger, such as using warning signs or hazard lights, is crucial until the cleaning is done. This alert helps other road users to be cautious and avoid potential accidents. According to German traffic regulations, both actions are necessary to mitigate risks on the roads effectively. Neglecting either action could lead to severe consequences, including legal repercussions, should an accident occur due to the unaddressed danger.
