But the increased number of cars is not the only reason for September&#8217;s congestion. This year, street repairs, route changes, poorer weather and, perhaps most importantly, our own haste contribute to them.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This shift is clearly evident in insurers&#8217; statistics. According to BTA data, 4,600 vehicle-related claims were registered across Lithuania in August 2025, whereas the figure exceeded 5,000 in September. During the morning rush hour alone\u2014between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m.\u2014669 insurable traffic accidents were recorded in September 2025.     <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traffic jams seem unavoidable.

At first glance, the explanation seems logical: thousands of young people arrive in Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaip\u0117da\u2014some with their own cars\u2014unfamiliar with the city streets and with less driving experience. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, such an explanation is overly simple.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year, BTA noted that heavier traffic in major cities began as early as the last few weeks of August, even before students had started their studies. According to the insurers, September sees the entire city returning to its usual rhythm almost simultaneously: employees commute to work after their holidays, parents begin driving children to schools and kindergartens, and the number of pedestrians, cyclists, and scooter riders increases. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an earlier traffic analysis by BTA, students were identified as only the third most significant cause of traffic congestion in September. Primary factors cited included changing family travel needs and drivers&#8217; own lack of preparedness for heavier traffic\u2014such as poor planning regarding departure times and routes, as well as phone usage. Insurers&#8217; studies also indicated that a portion of students do not begin driving actively in major cities until October, rather than September.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, students contribute to traffic volume, but it would be inaccurate to say that they are the ones &#8220;causing September traffic jams&#8221;. In September, the whole daily routine of the city changes. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb0006c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cb0006c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Not all summer renovations end with the summer.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b73d0f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b73d0f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another factor this year is road and street repairs.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summer is a convenient time for road repairs because city traffic is lighter. However, September 1st does not necessarily coincide with the completion of construction work. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Vilnius Municipality data, work was still underway on street sections totaling approximately 14 kilometers at the end of August. While some roadway work was completed by September, major projects on Trak\u0173, J. Basanavi\u010diaus, B. Radvilait\u0117s, Maironio, V. Kudirkos, Jogailos, Vilniaus, D\u017eiaugsmo, and other streets are continuing into the autumn. Drivers are advised to assess the situation in advance during rush hours and, if possible, choose alternative routes.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A similar situation prevails in Kaunas. Although the Southeastern Bypass, the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant bridge, and several other key arteries were successfully opened before September, work is still underway on U\u017enemun\u0117s, Julijanavos, H. and O. Minkovski\u0173, and Baltijos streets, as well as on Balt\u0173 Avenue, \u0160ilainiai Highway, and other locations. Specialists from the Kaunas Municipality also predict that traffic conditions do not typically return to normal overnight; drivers need time to adjust to new routes and the city&#8217;s altered rhythm.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is why, at the beginning of September, it is worth re-checking even the route you have been taking to work for years. A commute that took twenty minutes in August could take significantly longer in September. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-991315e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"991315e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Heavier traffic leaves less room for error.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3f6218 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3f6218\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is usually not major accidents that occur in traffic jams, but rather run-of-the-mill ones: one driver brakes too late, another misjudges the distance, and a third changes lanes at the last moment.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In its 2026 communications, BTA highlights safe following distance, speed, proper use of signals, and attentiveness as the most critical factors amidst increasing traffic. Insurers also remind drivers of the simple &#8220;zipper&#8221; principle: traffic flows more smoothly when drivers cooperate\u2014rather than trying to overtake or block one another\u2014as the road narrows.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is where a traffic paradox lies. When it feels like we are moving too slowly, a natural urge arises to take action\u2014to switch lanes, look for a faster lane, or overtake a car or two. However, constantly darting between lanes rarely yields any real benefit. A few hundred meters later, the same cars end up meeting again at the traffic light, while the extra maneuvering only increases the risk of a collision.   <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes the best way to get through a traffic jam faster is simply to drive through it calmly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5c1c71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e5c1c71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Children are returning to the streets \u2013 drivers need to be more attentive.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-998d2cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"998d2cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is not just traffic patterns that change in September; hundreds of thousands of students also return to the streets. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to data from the Transport Competence Agency published by Lietuvos draudimas, 241 children under the age of 11 and 451 children aged 12 to 17 were injured in traffic incidents in 2025. Compared to the same period in the previous year, the number of casualties increased in both age groups.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Particular caution should be exercised near schools, kindergartens, pedestrian crossings, and public transport stops. Primary school children are still learning to assess traffic situations independently. Between 2022 and 2025, 201 traffic accidents occurred within a 100-meter radius of general education schools and preschool institutions, resulting in injuries to 182 children.   <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parents driving their children to school should decide in advance where to stop safely. It is best to let the child out on the sidewalk side and, before opening the door, ensure there are no cyclists, scooter riders, or other cars nearby. If a line of cars forms at the school gate, it is sometimes faster and safer to stop a hundred or a few hundred meters away and walk the final stretch.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A few saved minutes certainly do not justify leaving a car on a pedestrian crossing, at an intersection, or in a spot where it blocks other drivers&#8217; view of children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c801dc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c801dc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The biggest problem might not be the traffic jam, but our reaction to it.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce955da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce955da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When caught in a traffic jam, we often experience a very specific kind of stress: we feel we need to be somewhere, yet there is nothing we can do to get there faster.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychologist Inga B\u016bdvytyt\u0117 links this feeling to a sense of lost control. A person\u2019s plans fall apart and they feel trapped, while the inability to change the situation gives rise to anxiety and irritability. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is perhaps the most important lesson about traffic jams: once we are stuck in one, a large part of the situation is beyond our control. We might get angry at a slow-moving car, a novice driver, a senior citizen, road workers, or a driver who cuts in front of us, but none of that will make the line ahead move any faster. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the contrary, emotional driving can only make the situation worse. Sudden lane changes, attempts to &#8220;teach another driver a lesson,&#8221; or aggressive driving increase the likelihood of an accident. And a single minor crash on a busy street can create an even greater traffic jam for hundreds of other drivers.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0429eda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0429eda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Using a phone while stuck in traffic is not an innocent way to pass the time.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c887f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c887f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When cars move just a few meters at a time, there is a temptation to use one&#8217;s phone. Yet, in precisely this kind of traffic, the situation is constantly changing: one moment we are at a standstill, and the next we need to move forward or brake. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Laura \u0160eibokait\u0117, an associate professor at the VMU Department of Psychology, once again highlighted the impact of mobile phone use on driving at this year\u2019s &#8220;Regitra&#8221; conference. Using a phone impairs concentration, increases reaction time, and makes it more difficult to keep the vehicle within its lane. Each year, the police record approximately 43,000 instances of mobile phone use while driving, and around 600 people lose their driving privileges due to such violations.   <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, it is best to select your navigation route before setting off. If you need to change it while driving, it is safer to do so after stopping in a suitable location, rather than trying to watch both the screen and the line of traffic ahead at the same time. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e872b46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e872b46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">You can start driving more calmly before you even leave home.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-138a772 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"138a772\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the simplest ways to reduce September stress is to allow a little more time for your journey.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">BTA claims experts point out that a person running late is more likely to try to overtake slower-moving vehicles, make abrupt lane changes, and react more intensely to traffic congestion. When one has time to spare, the same situation is perceived quite differently: a missed traffic light or a slower car becomes not a problem, but simply part of the journey. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">That is why, in September, it is worth breaking the habit of calculating your commute down to the minute. If your navigation app shows a 25-minute drive to work, that doesn\u2019t mean you should leave home exactly 25 minutes before your meeting. You need time to walk to your car, pull out of your driveway, and find a parking spot\u2014and, most importantly, you need a buffer of a few minutes to handle the unexpected.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes <a href=\"https:\/\/manramu.lt\/en\/news\/which-is-better-to-arrive-5-minutes-early-or-to-be-5-minutes-late\/\">the difference between being five minutes early and being five minutes late<\/a> is just ten minutes on the clock, but the driver&#8217;s feeling can be completely different.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is worth checking the actual traffic situation before your trip, and\u2014if possible\u2014setting off a bit earlier or scheduling your journey outside peak traffic hours, at least during the first few weeks of September.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f146d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0f146d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">And what should you do once you are already caught in a traffic jam?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1061249 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1061249\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">First, accept the fact that you are already stuck in traffic. Constantly calculating in your head how many minutes late you will be does not speed up the traffic. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you realize you won&#8217;t arrive on time, it is best to let the person waiting for you know\u2014either before setting off or after stopping at a suitable location. From that moment on, there is no longer any need to try to make up for lost time. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then there are the simple things: maintaining a safe distance, staying in your lane, signaling turns in advance, and letting others in when necessary for smooth traffic flow. If you feel yourself getting very frustrated, it is worth making a conscious effort to lower the tension\u2014breathe calmly, listen to music, or simply remind yourself that the traffic jam is temporary and you have no control over how fast it moves. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your anger is so intense that you feel an urge to &#8220;teach another driver a lesson,&#8221; that is a signal not to try to discipline the other person, but rather to pull over in a safe spot and take a few minutes to calm down.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31b9300 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"31b9300\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">September traffic is also a good lesson in traffic culture for children.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b61d55a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b61d55a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Children in the car observe how their parents behave towards other road users.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can explain ten times to a child that you need to be careful when crossing the street, but if on the way to school dad or mom curses a slow driver, misses a changing car and tries to pass when the red light is on, the child will remember exactly this pattern of behavior.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, the trip to school can also serve as a brief road safety lesson: explaining why we yield to a pedestrian, why one shouldn&#8217;t stand on a crosswalk, why we let another car change lanes, and why sometimes it is simply necessary to wait patiently.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traffic culture begins not with a rulebook, but with what we see on the street every day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b81d7f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b81d7f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">If, despite everything, a traffic accident could not be avoided<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f4e9be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f4e9be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even the most cautious drivers can be involved in a traffic accident. If this happens, first ensure the safety of those involved and assess whether anyone requires urgent assistance. Safely document the circumstances of the incident, take photos of the vehicles&#8217; positions and the damage, and\u2014when conditions allow\u2014fill out an accident report.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most important thing in such a situation is not to rush or get drawn into a conflict.
