According to the system of road maintenance, road maintenance is divided into road maintenance (operational road maintenance) and road maintenance (structural road maintenance).

Road maintenance (operational road maintenance)

Road maintenance or route maintenance primarily serves to remove sources of danger and, in addition to the execution of smaller immediate measures on the road structure (such as repairing a pothole ), also includes winter service , the maintenance of greenery and trees along the road , street cleaning and maintenance of the road equipment .

Road maintenance (structural road maintenance)

Road maintenance involves structural measures on smaller areas that only contribute to a small improvement in quality. This includes, for example, the removal of small-area unevenness by milling , the renovation of seams and joints or minor surface treatments . To determine a suitable measure, a condition assessment and assessment is usually carried out in advance .
