RTR 8. In the Republic of Lithuania, road traffic may be restricted only by: traffic signs listed in Annex 1 of the Rules; variable message signs authorized as road signs (examples in Annex 2); road markings specified in Annex 3; traffic light signals; and signals given by traffic officers, as provided by the Rules and other legal acts governing traffic control. Where a road sign conflicts with a road marking, the road sign takes precedence. Variable message signs must be observed when displayed. Signals issued by traffic officers override traffic lights, road signs, road markings, and other provisions of the Rules. Road users are required to comply with traffic signs that apply to them.

Article 44 of the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Road Traffic Safety: A wheelchair for a person with a disability is a wheeled mobility device propelled either manually or by an electric motor.

Law on Road Traffic Safety, Article 2, Paragraph 55: A 'central reservation' is a structural road element that separates adjacent carriageways — it may be a planted strip or a paved surface — where driving, stopping, and parking of vehicles are prohibited.

RTR VIII. Rules for Cyclists 64. Cyclists must not: 64.1 Ride on the carriageway except in cases expressly permitted by these Rules. 64.2 Ride on motorways and expressways. 64.3 Ride without holding the handlebars with their hands. 64.4 Carry passengers if the bicycle is not fitted with a designated passenger seat. 64.5 Carry, tow, or push loads that impede control of the bicycle or pose a hazard to other road users. 64.6 Be towed by other vehicles. 64.7 Tow other vehicles, except for trailers specially designed for bicycles. 64.8 Hold on to a moving vehicle while cycling. 64.9 Cross the carriageway by riding over a pedestrian crossing. JB

Driving licences issued in Lithuania, in other EU Member States, and in certain other countries are recognised in Lithuania. This question, however, asks whether a person may drive in Lithuania without a valid driving licence (including one issued abroad). The correct answer is “No”. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 13(1): Persons who do not have the right to drive a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled work machine; who are intoxicated; who are under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances; or who have not taken the legally required daily rest must not drive. In addition, a person who is fatigued or ill must not drive if doing so could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to a person affected by any of the factors listed above or who is not authorised to drive that type of vehicle.

Road sign 334 — “No parking on odd days”. Parking is prohibited on the side of the road where this sign is placed on odd-numbered days of the month. Road sign 335 — “No parking on even days”. Parking is prohibited on the side of the road where this sign is placed on even-numbered days of the month. When signs 334 and 335 are installed on both sides of the road, vehicles must be moved from one side to the other between 19:00 and 24:00 (7:00 pm–12:00 am); during that interval, parking is permitted on either side of the road.

RTR Annex 3.1.4: A continuous yellow line along the carriageway edge indicates areas where stopping or parking is prohibited; it may also be used to mark lanes affected by roadworks. Vehicles must not cross this line. When a yellow continuous line is used together with white lane markings, drivers must obey the yellow line. RTR Annex 3.1.27: A yellow zigzag line marks a section or side of the road where stopping and parking are prohibited along the entire length of the zigzag.

In this scenario the driver must complete the left turn before passing the traffic officer. Turning left after passing the officer would violate Road Traffic Rules requirement 77.2.3, which prohibits vehicles approaching from the rear and from the right from proceeding. RTR 77 — Signals given by traffic officers — are defined as follows: 77.1 Arms extended sideways or down: 77.1.1 Vehicles to the left and to the right may proceed straight ahead or turn right; pedestrians may cross the carriageway. 77.1.2 Vehicles and pedestrians in front of and behind the officer must not proceed. 77.2 Right arm extended forward: 77.2.1 Vehicles approaching from the left may proceed in any direction. 77.2.2 Vehicles from the front may proceed only to the right. 77.2.3 Vehicles from the rear and from the right must not proceed. 77.2.4 Pedestrians may cross the carriageway behind the officer. 77.3 Arm raised upwards: 77.3.1 All road users must not proceed in any direction. 77.3.2 Drivers must stop their vehicles without changing lanes.

141. "Level Crossing Ahead" — warns of a railway level crossing ahead located outside a built-up area. The sign is mounted on the right-hand side of the road.

Road sign 304 — "No entry for goods vehicles." Entry is prohibited for goods vehicles and vehicle combinations whose permissible maximum mass exceeds 3.5 tonnes or the weight shown on the sign. Tractors and self‑propelled vehicles are also prohibited, except for service vehicles.

RTR 12. Road users must immediately yield to approaching emergency vehicles that display blue and red (or only blue) flashing lights and use special audible signals, as well as to vehicles escorted by them. Road users shall form an emergency corridor as follows: 12.1 On a road with a single lane in one direction, drivers must stop on the right hard shoulder if one exists; if there is no hard shoulder, they must stop as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway. 12.2 On a road with two or more lanes in the same direction, vehicles in the far-left lane must move and stop as close as possible to the left edge of the carriageway designated for that direction, while vehicles in the lanes to the right must move and stop as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway (or the hard shoulder). 12.3 On a road with a central reservation, only drivers travelling in the same direction must comply with the requirements in paragraphs 12.1 and 12.2. RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side (minor) road must yield to vehicles approaching on the priority road.

RTR 112. When an acceleration lane is provided for entering a roadway, the driver must use it to gain speed and merge into the main traffic flow, yielding to vehicles already on the road. The driver may change lanes as necessary or enter a deceleration lane when appropriate. JB

RTR 136. Drivers should avoid unnecessary overtaking manoeuvres. Before overtaking, drivers must exercise extra caution and ensure that: 136.1 no driver following has already begun to overtake them; 136.2 the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is not indicating a left turn; 136.3 the section of lane required for the overtaking manoeuvre is clear and the manoeuvre will not obstruct oncoming traffic or pedestrians on the carriageway; 136.4 a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken can be maintained during the manoeuvre; 136.5 after completing the overtaking manoeuvre they will be able to return safely to the original traffic lane without obstructing the overtaken vehicle.

The red and blue vehicles are on the priority (main) road, so they proceed first. Between them the priority-to-the-right rule applies: the red vehicle goes first because no vehicle is approaching from its right, followed by the blue vehicle. Vehicles on the side road follow: the green vehicle goes next (it has no vehicle to its right), and last is the yellow vehicle. RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side road must yield to vehicles on the priority road. RTR 156. If the main road’s direction changes at the intersection, drivers on the main road must, with respect to one another, follow the rules for intersections of roads of equal importance; drivers on the side road must apply those same rules among themselves. RTR Annex 2.204. 'STOP' — drivers must not proceed without stopping before the stop line or, if there is no line, before the sign. A driver must yield to vehicles traveling on the road he or she is about to cross. If panel No. 843 'Direction of Priority Road' is installed below the sign, the driver must yield to vehicles on the priority road.

When turning, the driver of the red car must yield to any vehicle coming from the opposite direction on a road of equal priority that is approaching from the right (the green car). Once the red car has already entered the intersection, the green car is considered an obstacle. At intersections where the main road changes direction, the priority-to-the-right rule applies (RTR 157). When turning left or making a U-turn, a driver must yield to oncoming vehicles on an equally important road that are going straight or turning right — and, where overtaking is permitted, also to vehicles that are overtaking.

RTR 195. Drivers must not: 6) teach another person to drive or transport children under 14 years of age; JB

RTR 201. Do not place a rear-facing child restraint suitable for the child's size on the front passenger seat if that seat is protected by an active airbag. This prohibition does not apply when the front passenger airbag is deactivated. It is recommended that children remain as long as possible in a rear-facing child restraint adapted to their height and weight, in accordance with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

Oncoming vehicles painted in dark colours often create the illusion that they are moving more slowly than they actually are.

Drivers and all passengers must wear seat belts in vehicles that are equipped with them. In buses fitted with seat belts, a "Fasten Your Seat Belt" notice must be displayed in a clearly visible location in front of each seat, on the seat, or adjacent to it. It is recommended that all bus passengers be informed of the seat belt requirement — either verbally or by audiovisual means — before the journey begins.

When driving beside a line of parked vehicles, watch for pedestrians who may step out into the road, drivers exiting their cars, and vehicle doors opening unexpectedly — any of these can cause a collision. 148. The doors of a parked vehicle must not be opened if doing so could create an obstruction or a hazard to other road users.

Vehicle documents should not be left in the vehicle, as they can be readily used by thieves. Valuable items must not be left in plain view inside the vehicle because they may attract opportunistic burglaries. Leaving liquids, such as soft drinks, inside the vehicle does not compromise its safety. (RTR 147) A driver may leave the vehicle unattended only after ensuring it cannot move on its own and that unauthorised use is prevented.

Passenger car tyre tread depth must be at least 1.6 mm in general and 3.0 mm during the winter period. Source: Technical requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers — Section V: Vehicle axles, wheels, tyres and suspension. 5.7. The tread depth of the tyres used must be at least: 5.7.1. M1 category — 1.6 mm (from November 10 to March 31 — 3.0 mm); JB

The letter 'R' denotes a radial tyre construction. In a radial tyre, the carcass cords run from one bead to the other in a radial direction instead of being wrapped around the bead cores. Thin, flexible crown plies provide the tread area with the required rigidity and flexibility while minimizing elastic deformation.

If a vehicle is left in gear and begins to roll downhill, certain older diesel engines may rotate and start automatically.

There is a minimum age requirement to operate a motorized bicycle, but no driving test or driving licence is required. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY I 2. 40. Motorized bicycle - a vehicle with at least two wheels that is propelled by the rider's muscular effort using pedals or handlebars and equipped with an auxiliary internal combustion engine or electric motor with a maximum net power not exceeding 1 kW and a maximum design speed not exceeding 25 km/h. The auxiliary engine ceases to provide power when the vehicle reaches 25 km/h. Wheelchairs for persons with disabilities are not classified as motorized bicycles. RTR 55. Persons older than 14 are permitted to ride bicycles on the carriageway; if they have completed the training course established by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Sport of the Republic of Lithuania and hold a certificate issued by the school, the minimum age is 12. Persons over 8 may ride bicycles on the carriageway under adult supervision. No age limit is established for cyclists within a residential area. RTR 66. Drivers of motorized bicycles must also comply with the rules and requirements applicable to cyclists.

Avoid sudden steering or braking to prevent further instability. Gently accelerate — increasing the driven wheel's RPM will help the wheel regain traction and make it easier to return to the paved road.

RTR 92. If the emergency light signaling system is not fitted or is defective and an emergency stop is required where stopping or parking is prohibited, in the event of an accident, or where the stopped vehicle would be visible to other road users from less than 100 metres, the driver of a motor vehicle (other than a motor moped or a motorcycle without a trailer), a tractor, or a self‑propelled machine must immediately place an emergency stop sign on the carriageway side opposite the direction of travel: in built‑up areas not less than 25 m from the stopped vehicle, and outside built‑up areas not less than 50 m. If at least one rear position lamp is defective and the hazard warning lights are not working when driving at night or in poor visibility, an emergency stop sign must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle in order to continue driving. RTR 151. When a vehicle is forced to stop where standing or parking is forbidden, drivers must switch on their hazard warning lights if available and/or place a warning triangle on the road as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules and remove their vehicle from the road as soon as possible. If drivers intend to stop their vehicle on unlit sections of the road during darkness or when visibility is poor, and hazard warning lights are not available or are inoperative, the vehicle must be parked off the carriageway. If this is impossible, the location must be marked as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules. JB

RTR 8. In the Republic of Lithuania, traffic may be regulated only by road signs listed in Annex 1 to the Rules, by variable message signs treated as road signs (examples are given in Annex 2), by road markings specified in Annex 3, by traffic lights, and by signals from traffic officers, as provided for in these Rules and other legal acts governing traffic control. If the requirements of a road sign conflict with those of a road marking, the road sign must be obeyed. When variable message signs are in use, their indications must be followed. Signals given by traffic officers take precedence over traffic lights, road signs, road markings, and the provisions of these Rules. Road users must comply with the signs that apply to them.

Drivers from other countries who are unfamiliar with local roads may have difficulty orienting themselves; they might make unexpected maneuvers, signal late before turns, or brake suddenly.

When you see traffic sign 636 — Automatic traffic control (part of the Advanced Traffic Management System) and you are traveling 10 km/h above the speed limit, ease off the accelerator so your speed drops to the legal limit and you avoid a possible fine. Sign 636 indicates a road section monitored by fixed automatic devices. The first version of the sign warns of devices that detect various traffic rule violations (except speed violations); the second version denotes a section where fixed devices record speed limit violations and, where technically feasible, other infringements.
