Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
German term or phrase: Straßengrund
From a planning decision:
“Baustoffen dürfen nicht auf der Fahrbahn und auf *Straßengrund* aufgestellt werden”. I am intending to use highway for Fahrbahn as this is US English but would be grateful if someone could suggest a term for Straßengrund. Thank you.
