Winter service concept for the 2023/2024 season approved by the city council
At its meeting today, the City Council approved the current winter service concept of the City of Chemnitz with its extensive annexes on the street directory, care matrix and emergency plan for the coming season. It is valid for the period from 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2024.
Every year, the City Council adopts the winter road maintenance concept for the planning, organisation and implementation of winter road maintenance in the City of Chemnitz for the current winter season.
The winter service concept fulfils the statutory and legal standards to be provided by the city and also implements a high level of public service.
In accordance with the adopted concept, the public transport routes are prioritised. The morning rush hour is covered by an upstream night shift in addition to the early shift starting at 3 am.
As in previous years, the carriageways of public roads in the city of Chemnitz have been categorised into service levels 1 to 4. In accordance with the concept, the winter road maintenance service operates 24 hours a day on level 1 carriageways. This includes the carriageways of federal, state and district roads within the city limits, carriageways used by local public transport bus services, main collector and main access roads as well as carriageways leading to fire stations, hospitals and important utilities and commercial sites. Level 2 carriageways are cleared of snow and ice for 16 hours a day.
