NStrG

Abbreviation for Niedersächsisches Straßengesetz

In short and in plain language

The NStrG is a law in Lower Saxony about public roads.

It says who builds, looks after and cleans them.

Towns may pass the clearing and gritting of pavements on to the owners next to them. This matters for winter service.

Definition
The NStrG is the roads act of the German state of Lower Saxony. It governs public roads there, including their construction, upkeep and cleaning. It allows municipalities to pass the clearing and gritting of pavements on to the owners of adjoining plots by bylaw. This makes it a key reference for winter maintenance.
