Vilnius deputy mayor Vytautas Mitalas shared an excerpt from an LNK report on his social media Facebook account, which shows that a Volvo driver, upset by the new traffic regime, decided to act particularly strangely.
The man hung one of the pylons on Volvo’s bumper to block traffic and prevent drivers from turning in the prohibited direction. These are also necessary because most of the streets where traffic is now allowed in the old town have been turned one-way.
The pylon connected to the car is torn off the bolt that attached it to the pavement and slides. And the Volvo driver turns nothing when traffic is prohibited and drives away from the scene of the accident.
“Oh, I really don’t suggest doing that: and bumper nubrozdinsit, and then you will have to finance the bolting of the stake. “I think the floor will need longer screws,” V. Mitalas joked.
By the way, leaving the accident site can represent a significant risk for the driver: a fine of 600-850 euros and deprivation of the right to drive for 1 to 3 years.

Cameras will also be used
Delfi recalls that due to changes in traffic regulations, visitors and residents of the old town will continue to be able to drive to their homes, workplaces and attractions, but will not be able to cross the old town.
The decision to introduce circular traffic regulation was made to reduce transit traffic. Currently, traffic traffic in the heart of Vilnius represents 40 percent, and in the morning, up to 70 percent.
According to the ELTA news agency, disobedient drivers are promised to be restrained with the help of special cameras. At the end of the summer, about 60 will appear in his Old City. The cameras will record the registration number of the car that entered one of the circuits and will determine if the driver of the car did not violate the applicable traffic rules and drove only as permitted.
It is true, for now, drivers will be warned of violations, but not punished. However, the Vilnius city municipality emphasized that it had already agreed with the city police to monitor violations.
