A city bus driver’s incomplete turn at the Lazurowa and Siemiatycka intersection in Bemowo blocked traffic heading toward Górsczewska street, causing a temporary jam with no casualties.
Blocked Lazurowa & Siemiatycka Intersection
During a turn, the city bus driver failed to complete the maneuver at the Lazurowa and Siemiatycka intersection, leaving the vehicle obstructing the passage toward Górsczewska Street. Traffic was halted at the entrance point.
Detours Forced for Górsczewska‑bound Drivers
Drivers traveling toward Górsczewska had to divert onto residential streets, parallel roads, and even sidewalks. The bus remains across the lane, preventing smooth traffic flow.
Space Insufficient for Articulated Bus
Initial assessments indicate the turning area lacked adequate space for an articulated bus, which requires a wide turning arc and proper road geometry. The insufficient space heightened the risk of the bus becoming immobilized during the turn.
Repeated Turning Incidents Reported
This is not the first case of bus drivers attempting to turn in unsuitable locations. Such decisions often lead to blockages, jams, and the necessity for temporary detours by other motorists.
No Injuries, Traffic Expected to Resume Normality
No casualties were reported. After the situation was secured, authorities and the operator’s technical staff are prepared to move the bus or temporarily halt adjacent lanes, allowing traffic to return to normal.
