One of the causes of the traffic jam on Kalinina Street was the work of cleaning equipment occupying the roadway. Additional difficulties were created by a loaded truck parked in the area of YaERZ and occupying an entire lane on a narrow section of the road.

Traffic jams also formed on Aviatorov Avenue in the Zavolzhsky district.
