Minsk Drivers Ignore New Road Markings, Sticking to Old Habits
In Minsk, at the intersection of Yakubovskogo and Pritytskogo streets, a recent change in road markings has caused some confusion among drivers. Many continue to use the old route, despite the new signs and markings. "It's funny how people stick to what they know," says i_001by, the author of a short video capturing this phenomenon. The video shows several cars ignoring the updated layout. This highlights the challenges of implementing infrastructure changes and the time it takes for people to adjust to new norms. While seemingly trivial, this observation reflects a larger societal pattern of resistance to change, even when it's for the better. The city authorities might consider additional measures to ensure drivers adapt to the new road layout swiftly and safely.
