Those who see problems suggest looking for solutions before a major accident happens. Unlike today, when, according to preliminary data, injuries were avoided.

The door “even came off”
The consequences of the accident on the last days of spring were recorded and published on Facebook by witness Romas.
At the same time, a man from Utena who was also at the scene added in the group “Help for drivers in Utena” that the consequences were serious: the door of one car “even came off”.
“I don’t understand what’s unclear about this intersection. Maybe you need to look at the signs while driving?”
Meanwhile, women in the group began to look for reasons for the accident-prone nature of this place and ways to solve it.
The discussion heated up after one commenter (Inga V.) expressed doubt: “I just don’t understand what’s unclear about this intersection. Maybe you need to look at the signs while driving?”
People who drive here daily: see what’s going on
Another woman from Utena introduced herself as a neighbor and shared thoughts based on knowledge and experience. According to her, living nearby, it has been repeatedly confirmed: there are plenty of “flyers” speeding and not even slowing down when crossing Molėtų St., both from Joneliškis and Palangos streets.

Guess how many drivers driving on Palangos street stop there and yield to other road users?
“Two reasons. First – speed. Why stop if you can ‘fly through’.
Second – the intersection has five directions (more precisely, there is also a sixth unpaved entrance to a couple of houses), so some drivers find it difficult to figure out who should yield to whom.
I myself drive and walk through this place every day, because otherwise I wouldn’t get home. There are constantly drivers here who do not yield to other road users, even when turning from Molėtų street onto the Palangos street section towards the juice press. Theoretically, since they are coming from the main street, they should yield to others – after the repair on Palangos street, “yield” markings are even painted on the surface.
But guess how many drivers driving on Palangos street stop there and yield to other road users. Mostly one in five.
Moreover, another problem arises – if two or three cars stop to let those driving on Molėtų street pass, they block the entrance,” analyzes resident Inga B.
