Eckernförde - SH, Frank Quirmbach, and Klaus Franke from Autobahn GmbH in the Eckernförde road maintenance department.
The minister warned motorists to adapt their behavior to the weather conditions.
Quirmbach asked for consideration for the employees who were out and about in ice and snow. Spreader vehicles are repeatedly and daringly overtaken. Buchholz praised the use of the winter service. "When most of us are still asleep, the LBV.SH employees have long been on duty to make the streets ice-free and safe."
According to the LBV.SH, in wintry weather the standby duty on all important roads begins at 3 a.m. and ends at 10 p.m.
