Maltese roads can be a unique type of hell, but one particular crossroad in the south of Malta may have just upped the ante, and not in a good way.

A driver heading down the junction between Triq Vajrita, Triq N.Dennis and Triq G.Lanzon in Marsascala found himself literally stuck between three one-way streets, and a dead end. Literally unable to drive anywhere, the driver simple recorded his predicament so others wouldn’t become trapped as he had, and be forced to buy a house in that area just to subsist.

“Driving your car and arriving at a point where you must press the self destruct button. Well done Transport Malta and Marsascala Local Council. I wonder how many months of intense studies regarding repercussions by Transport Malta had been taken,” said Colin Attard.

People had a few ideas as to how and why this could even occur

Drivers who ended up at this junction quickly found themselves in an impossible predicament: either become a lawbreaker and drive through a one-way street risking a ticket, or literally move into the dead-end street and make some familial ties.
