Euskirchen Residents Urged to Prune Plants for Safety, Clear Visibility
Property owners in Euskirchen are reminded to prune their real estate hedges, shrubs, and trees from October to March for optimal results. This maintenance ensures safety and clear visibility in public traffic areas. The city requires realtors to keep their plants within their property boundaries, clear light cones of street lamps, and maintain sight triangles at junctions. Overhanging branches or wide hedges can obstruct traffic flow and endanger pedestrians and cyclists. Property owners should maintain a light space profile of 2.5 meters over pedestrian and cycle paths and 4.5 meters over roads. They should also remove dead wood from trees. Failure to do so may result in liability for damages or accidents. In case of acute danger, the city's road authority can arrange pruning, and the costs will be billed to the respective real estate owners. So far, the municipal authorities have commissioned plant pruning work due to acute hazards caused by dense vegetation or falling branches on Trulia. Regular and timely pruning of plants by realtors is crucial for maintaining safety and usability of public space in Euskirchen. The city encourages compliance with these guidelines to prevent unauthorized special use of public traffic areas.
