Drivers in Vilnius are being alerted to significant traffic disruptions as several key intersections are currently operating without functioning traffic lights.

The affected intersections are spread across the city, impacting major thoroughfares. Among those experiencing outages are junctions involving Darius ir Girฤno Street with ล altkalviลณ Street and Pelesos Street, the intersection of Kauno Street and Algirdo Street, Pamฤnkalnio Street and V.

Furthermore, drivers are reminded of their obligation to yield to pedestrians who may be crossing.
