The responsibility for winter road maintenance on Saxony-Anhalt's roads lies with the regulatory authorities of the respective municipalities, cities or districts. The road authorities are therefore responsible for ensuring that the roads remain safe to drive on in icy and snowy conditions by gritting and clearing the road surface.

The situation is different within local thoroughfares. The winter road maintenance service provided by the road construction authority only applies to the carriageway of the road in the course of local thoroughfares. Winter road maintenance on footpaths and cycle paths, on the other hand, is governed by the current bylaws of the towns, municipalities or administrative communities.
