Traffic accident at the intersection of J.Basanavičius Avenue and Taikos AvenueChunks of ice falling from the sky and heavy rains completely paralyzed traffic in Kaunas. Internet users even started joking that it would be time for Health Minister Aurelia Veryga to return to the strict quarantine regime, during which there were few cars in the city, with no traffic jams.

On Monday afternoon, when Kaunas residents finished their work, there were few “unimpeded” streets in the city.

Šarkuvos and Kuršių streets in the Šilainiai district have become difficult to beat. Internet users joked that Kuršių Street suddenly became the Curonian Lagoon, where car numbers and bumper parts were drowning.

Panerių street, Šiaurės and Balt avenue are also very busy. Drivers suggested not driving through the Šilainiai market.

No car that attempted to cross the flooded streets received a so-called “hydraulic shock.”
