Avoid mud on the road

What to do with mud on the road?

If, as a result of works, mud is left behind on the public road, it is recommended to:

• put up signs warning the other road users;

• have the public road cleaned up as quickly as possible;

• remove the signs only after that.

Is it a busy road, or is there really a lot of mud on the road surface? Then be sure to notify the police. They will mark out the danger and possibly also divert traffic.

Note: you are still obliged to clean up the road surface - and you remain liable in case of a possible accident!

What does the legislation say?

Article 7.1. of the Traffic Law regulates everything related to fouling of the road, because this is - after all - an ordinary traffic violation. Naturally, this article must be applied in a reasonable manner. For example, there is no violation if it appears that a contractor at regular intervals took the necessary measures to remove the dirt that has fallen on the roadway.

How does RinDis to the cleaning?

You can also stay one step ahead of unpleasant circumstances. In the case of large infrastructure works, earth moving or soil recycling, it is recommended to install a wheel wash or tyre washing system. In this way, you systematically combat road fouling and you avoid tensions with the neighbours and potential liability in case of accidents!
