The place mentioned is a viaduct over the Western Bypass in Vilnius. Here, Sietyno Street in the Karoliniškės district allows you to take it to the Western Bypass or drive into the district.
As the Delfi reader noted, in order to exit Karoliniškės and descend from the viaduct to the Western Ring Road, drivers must keep right and take the right exit to descend and enter the Ring Road.
To prevent drivers from making mistakes, there is also a “No Turn” sign in the middle of the viaduct. But despite everything, many drivers every day, instead of turning right and entering a detour, do so by turning left and crossing a solid line.
“It just came to our notice then. But then it crosses a solid line and interferes with others. And the worst part is that I walk it myself every day and I realize those drivers save a few seconds. But maybe this is the one? how to do it and they don’t hurt anything? ”The Delfi reader was surprised.
Let’s stop playing dumb
Artūras Pakėnas, director of the driving school and driving teacher of the public institution Amplius LT, did not hide that he knew well the place indicated by the reader of Delfi. When asked if it could be the case that drivers turning left consider that the no-turn signal was not violated, he vehemently objected.
“You can try whatever you want, but here it is obvious: you turn around, you cross a solid line. And do not play the fool. Many times I have observed the situation there and with my own eyes such a maneuver is complete stupidity,” he said. , adding that if the driver does not realize that he is turning, then the question is whether he is aware of what he is doing on the road.
According to the instructor, such an attempt to save time and violate the KET can only be considered complete nonsense, because drivers save only a few seconds and the risk is high.
You need principled policing
According to A. Pakėnas, if the police officers acted in principle, they could punish many in this place.
“I have no doubt that such a string of infractions can lead to driving disqualifications. Because otherwise – ignoring the sign, crossing a solid line, and maybe even causing an emergency, because crossing the road by breaking the rules where the people go straight, ”said the expert.
According to A. Pakėnas, perhaps if one day police officers on duty deprive one or two hundred drivers of the right to drive, the abuse would stop.
“After all, there are no traffic jams or other inconveniences when driving to the right. The only difference is whether you drive according to the rules or not,” said the interlocutor, who estimates that the residents of the neighborhood more frequently violate the KET.
