Speed cameras vanish from Lithuania's main highway amid driver confusion

Drivers on Lithuania's main highway are confused and concerned following the mysterious disappearance of newly installed speed cameras. The cameras, part of an experiment by the state-owned company 'Via Lietuva,' were placed on the Vilnius-Kaunas-Klaipėda highway between Elektrėnai and Vievis during ongoing repair work.

The experiment concluded after just a week, leaving many questioning the purpose and effectiveness of the temporary measure. This comes amid a spate of accidents that occurred on the same stretch of road during the repair period. The disappearances have fueled speculation and frustration among motorists, who are already dealing with the disruptions caused by the construction.

Authorities are now looking into the reasons behind the cameras' removal. The incident raises broader questions about road safety management during major infrastructure projects and whether similar traffic control measures will be implemented in other repair zones across the country.
