The 23 October yellow rain code is over: the Prut at Ungheni stays under orange code

According to the hydrological warning of 23 October, the rain will not significantly change the situation on the Prut: from 24 to 30 October, on the Costești – Brânza section, which includes Ungheni, the river is at 20–30% of the long-term average, orange code.

Sculeni adds flashing amber signals and red night lighting at the Ștefan cel Mare crossing — the commune's third reinforced crossing in a month

At one of Sculeni's busiest pedestrian crossings, on the Ștefan cel Mare road, the commune hall has installed two flashing amber signals, and at night the crossing is washed in red projector light. It is the third road-safety intervention in the commune in about a month — after the raised crossing by the lyceum and the painted crossing at Gherman — and each time with a different method.

578 pupils study next to the Sculeni junction where a raised pedestrian crossing now forces cars to slow down

At the junction of Ion Creangă and Alexandru cel Bun streets in Sculeni, next to the theoretical lyceum, the Arts School and the Health Centre, a raised pedestrian crossing has been built — the kind that physically forces drivers to slow down. The work was carried out by the National Roads Administration, after a request that began with local councillor Petru Iacobciuc.

87 dead in ten years on Ungheni's roads: the «car that calls 112 by itself» reaches Parliament

Moldova is laying the groundwork for eCall — the technology that, in a crash, automatically dials 112 and transmits the point of impact, even if no one in the car can still make the call. The bill that introduces it into the 112 Service Law is due for a first reading; it is not yet law, and it takes effect only in 2027. In the Ungheni district, where road accidents killed 87 people and injured more than 400 over a decade, the promise is the «golden hour». But the benefit lands slowly: eCall comes only on new EU-approved cars, and more than 80% of Moldova's cars are older than ten years.
