A light commercial vehicle, whose driver’s identity could not be determined, crashed into a direction sign at the Kirazlık location on the Samsun Ordu highway. The accident caused damage and the overturned direction sign blocked the road, disrupting traffic for kilometers in the direction of Ordu. This led to traffic congestion, affecting the city traffic in Canik as well. Drivers trying to reach work in the morning faced difficulties due to the vehicle queue.
The incident made it difficult for the authorities to reach the scene, as the traffic congestion caused delays. Police and Road Authority teams struggled to reach the location due to the long line of vehicles. The traffic congestion not only affected the Ordu direction but also disrupted the city traffic in Canik, causing significant delays for drivers trying to reach their destinations. The work to clear the road and restore traffic flow took about 2 hours.
After approximately 2 hours of effort by the police and road teams, the direction sign was finally removed from the road. The closure of the road had caused significant disruption to traffic, leading to delays and long queues of vehicles. However, once the teams were able to clear the direction sign and open up the road, traffic flow gradually returned to normal. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the impact of accidents on traffic flow.
It is crucial for drivers to remain vigilant and follow traffic regulations to prevent such accidents. Additionally, quick response and efficient handling of such incidents by the authorities are essential to minimize the disruption to traffic flow. In this case, the timely intervention of the police and road teams helped in resolving the situation within a reasonable timeframe. As a result, the road was reopened, and traffic was able to resume its normal course. Overall, the incident highlights the importance of road safety and the need for coordinated efforts to address traffic disruptions effectively.
