Warning to drivers in the capital: traffic jams and accidents are being recorded

Drivers in Vilnius are experiencing traffic jams and accidents due to snowy weather conditions, prompting warnings for cautious driving.

Heavy snowfall in Vilnius has led to multiple traffic incidents and bottlenecks, as reported by local authorities and traffic monitoring service 'Judu'. As temperatures hover around -5 degrees Celsius, road conditions are predicted to be slippery in some areas, intensifying during peak hours. Local road maintenance company 'Grinda' is actively treating the roads to alleviate snow accumulation and improve safety for drivers.

On Wednesday morning, there were six reported traffic accidents and twelve traffic jams recorded across several key roads in Vilnius, including on Saulėtekio Street and Savanorių Avenue. Commuters are advised to exercise extra caution while driving during this challenging weather, especially as snowfall is predicted to ease later in the day. The traffic reports highlight specific trouble spots where congestion has formed, causing delays for residents navigating the wintry conditions.

Authorities emphasize that traffic conditions remain manageable but advise all drivers to remain vigilant. As the city continues to address the impacts of winter weather, updates on road conditions and traffic incidents are being closely monitored, ensuring that effective measures are taken to maintain road safety and efficiency for the public.
