RTR 3.14. The main (priority) road is: a road marked with the 'Priority Road' sign, an 'Intersection with a Side Road' sign, a 'Side Road from the Right' or 'Side Road from the Left' sign, or designated as a 'Motorway' or 'Road for Motor Vehicles' in relation to the intersecting or joining road; a road in relation to another road marked with 'Give Way', 'STOP', or 'End of Residential Area' signs; a paved road (concrete, asphalt, or cobblestone) in relation to an improved unpaved road (macadam or gravel) or a dirt road (forest, field, or similar road); and an improved unpaved road in relation to a dirt road. A paved or improved unpaved section of a side road immediately before an intersection does not make that side road equivalent to the intersecting or joining road. There is no priority road at intersections controlled by traffic signals. JB

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

A category B driving licence entitles the holder to drive vehicles of category AM (mopeds and light quadricycles). LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY Article 23. 1. Categories of motor vehicles and their combinations with trailers are as follows: 1) Category AM: mopeds and light quadricycles; 5) Category B1: quadricycles. 4. A driving licence that entitles a person to drive: 1) vehicles referred to in Subparagraphs 2–16 of Paragraph 2 of this Article also entitles the holder to drive vehicles of category AM; 4) vehicles of categories B, C, or D also entitle the holder to drive vehicles of categories B1, C1, or D1.

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 2, clause 42. "Pedestrian" means a person present on the road who is not inside a vehicle, including a person using a wheelchair, on roller/inline skates, on a skateboard or scooter, walking while leading or pushing a bicycle, moped, or motorcycle, or pulling/pushing a sledge, pram, or other type of carriage. A person performing work on the road shall not be considered a pedestrian.

Drivers approaching a bend should be aware that the curve may be sharper than it appears. Therefore they must select a safe speed and adopt an appropriate position on the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. A safe speed depends on all circumstances: weather conditions, the technical condition of the road and the vehicle, the vehicle's load, the driver's experience and physical condition. RTR 127. Drivers must not exceed the permitted speed limit. When choosing a driving speed, drivers should consider the driving conditions — in particular the terrain — the condition of the road and the vehicle (including its load), weather conditions and traffic density so that they can stop safely before any foreseeable obstruction. Drivers must slow down or stop if circumstances require, especially when visibility is poor.

Using the horn may distract the driver being overtaken but will not prevent the overtaking; they may still accelerate to complete the manoeuvre. Obstructing an overtaking vehicle includes actions such as accelerating, steering toward the overtaking vehicle, blocking the lane, or any other behaviour intended to prevent another driver from passing. RTR 138. The driver of a vehicle being overtaken must not obstruct drivers who wish to pass by speeding up or by any other action. RTR 136. Drivers are advised to avoid unnecessary overtaking manoeuvres. Before overtaking, drivers must take extra precautions and ensure that: 136.1. no driver behind them has already begun to overtake; 136.2. the driver of the vehicle to be overtaken is not signalling a left turn; 136.3. the section of lane required for overtaking is clear and the manoeuvre will not obstruct oncoming vehicles or pedestrians on the carriageway; 136.4. a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken can be maintained during the overtaking; 136.5. after the overtaking manoeuvre they will be able to return to the same traffic lane safely without obstructing the overtaken vehicle. JB

A driver must maintain clear forward visibility in all weather conditions. Use the windscreen wipers according to the intensity of precipitation, traffic, presence of pedestrians and other circumstances. Waiting until "the windscreen is covered in snow and you are unable to see anything" is too late.

According to the Road Traffic Rules, there are no such places where drivers are prohibited from braking. Braking is necessary to ensure traffic safety; therefore, drivers brake when they need to.

According to the Road Traffic Rules (RTR 73.3), a flashing green light permits traffic to proceed but indicates that the green phase is ending and that a prohibitive signal will soon appear. Drivers who try to speed through the intersection — by accelerating or overtaking — take unnecessary risks and may cause an accident. Other drivers may brake suddenly; therefore, to pass the intersection safely while the green light is flashing, drivers must ensure their actions will not obstruct other vehicles and must consider the behavior of drivers behind them, since sudden braking can also lead to collisions. Anticipating the need to stop before the intersection, drivers should reduce their speed.

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 11D. In heavy traffic, when all lanes are occupied by vehicles, changing lanes is permitted only when necessary to make a turn, make a U‑turn, or stop. JB

RTR 77.1. When the traffic officer's arms are extended sideways or pointed downward: 77.1.1. Vehicles located to the officer's left and right may proceed straight ahead or turn right; pedestrians may cross the carriageway. 77.1.2. Vehicles and pedestrians positioned in front of or behind the officer must not proceed. JB

RTR 141. Vehicles may stand or park on the right-hand side of the road, as close as possible to the right edge of a hard shoulder, or at the carriageway edge if no hard shoulder exists. When entering or leaving the hard shoulder, the driver must not endanger other road users. If a cycle lane is installed along the right edge of the carriageway, drivers may stand or park adjacent to that cycle lane. 1.1. A NARROW CONTINUOUS LINE separates traffic flows in opposite directions and prohibits driving in the lane for oncoming traffic on the marked section of road; it also marks the edges of traffic lanes, sections of the carriageway into which entry is prohibited, the limits of vehicle parking spaces and the carriageway edge. At road sign No. 413 "Pedestrian and bicycle path" it separates the part of the path intended for bicycle traffic from the part intended for pedestrian traffic. Crossing this line is prohibited, except where it marks the carriageway edge or the boundary of a parking space.

The function of a vehicle suspension system is to convert bumps and shocks transmitted to the wheels, with the aid of shock absorbers, into minor oscillations of the vehicle body, providing comfort for driver and passengers. The suspension reduces body oscillations, and when functioning properly it enhances driving safety.

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

XXIX. Obligations of Road Users in the Event of a Road Accident (paras. 219–222) 219. In the event of a road accident, every driver involved or any other road user must: 219.5. take all necessary measures to provide first aid to the injured, call an ambulance, or — when calling an ambulance or transporting the injured to a healthcare institution by other means is impossible — convey them to the nearest healthcare institution in a private vehicle, unless such transportation would endanger their life or health.

To drive a motor vehicle economically and sensibly, begin moving smoothly and steadily. Where possible, reduce your speed gradually and avoid unnecessary abrupt actions unless they are essential (e.g., emergency braking because of an unexpected obstacle on the road).

RTR 21. Driving training. 4. Driving instruction on roads is permitted only when the student possesses sufficient driving skill. Instruction may be carried out only on roads where the owner has not prohibited it.

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.

There are no lane direction signs; therefore the driver of the red vehicle may go straight or turn right. When changing lanes, the driver of the green vehicle must yield. RTR 104. When changing lanes, a driver must yield to vehicles moving in the same direction in the adjacent lane. If vehicles moving in the same direction change lanes simultaneously, a driver must yield to the vehicle on the right, except in the cases specified in Paragraph 112 of the Rules. RTR 112. If an acceleration lane is provided for entering the road, the driver must use that lane and merge into the main traffic flow (change lanes and move into the adjacent lane), yielding to vehicles already in that flow or to vehicles changing lanes toward the deceleration lane. RTR 106. Before turning right, left, or making a U-turn (except when entering an intersection with circular traffic), a driver must move in advance to the edge of the carriageway designated for that direction. Road signs and/or road markings may indicate otherwise.

RTR 16. A driver must stop the vehicle when ordered by the inspecting officer. The driver of a motor vehicle, tractor, self-propelled vehicle or military vehicle (including tactical and logistical vehicles and combinations with trailers) must carry and, upon request of the inspecting officer, present a valid driving licence or a document certifying the right to drive tractors and/or self‑propelled vehicles or military equipment; the vehicle registration documents and proof of the compulsory roadworthiness test (including the report of the most recent technical inspection for vehicle categories M2, M3, N2, N3, O3, O4 and wheeled tractor categories T1b, T2b, T3b, T4.1b, T4.2b, T4.3b, T5); the certificate (policy) of compulsory motor third‑party liability insurance; and other documents required by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania and these Rules (except where the Law on Road Traffic Safety exempts the driver from carrying certain documents). The driver must also allow the inspecting officer to check the readings of validated tachographs or other devices that record driving time and rest periods. Documents shall be presented to the inspecting officer without leaving the vehicle. The driver may exit the vehicle only with the inspecting officer’s permission. RTR 91. If the vehicle is equipped with hazard warning lights, they must be switched on: 91.3 when the vehicle is stopped by an inspecting officer. JB

When a wheel travels through standing water, the vehicle can aquaplane (ride on a layer of water), causing loss of traction and possible skidding. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually reduce speed to regain traction and maintain control.

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

Fog typically forms over and near bodies of water, and in humid, low-lying areas.

RTR 5. Road users must be familiar with the Law on Road Traffic Safety of the Republic of Lithuania, be acquainted with these Rules, and comply with them. JB

When driving at night and during blowing snow, you should switch on the fog lamps together with the dipped-beam (low-beam) headlamps. Using the main-beam (high-beam) headlamps will cause light to reflect off the snow and dazzle the driver. (RTR 98) Fog lamps should only be used when visibility is seriously reduced; the front fog lamps may also be used in the event of failure of the front left dipped-beam headlamp.

67. Only persons aged 14 or older may drive an animal-drawn vehicle, herd animals or birds, or ride an animal on a road. 72. Drivers of animal-drawn vehicles, those herding animals or birds, riders, and other persons must not: 72.1. leave animals or birds unattended on a road or near a road; 72.2. tie animals so that they could enter a road; 72.3. herd animals or birds along a cobbled road or roads with asphalt or concrete pavement without the road owner's consent; 72.4. herd animals or birds across railway tracks or a road where there are no specially designated crossings; 72.5. ride an animal on the carriageway during hours of darkness; 72.6. drive animal-drawn vehicles, herd animals or birds, or ride animals on motorways and highways; 72.7. drive animal-drawn vehicles, herd animals or birds, or ride animals while under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances.

Children close to the road can behave unpredictably. Exercise extreme caution when driving near them — they may run into the carriageway without looking and may not respond to a horn.

RTR 116. U-turns are prohibited: 116.1 on pedestrian crossings; 116.2 on level crossings; 116.3 in tunnels; 116.4 on and beneath bridges, overpasses and viaducts; 116.5 where visibility in at least one direction is less than 100 metres; 116.6 on roads with a central reservation, except at locations designated and marked for U-turns by road signs and/or road markings. JB

RTR 73.11. A red light or two alternately flashing red lights prohibit traffic; if the light displays black arrow(s), it prohibits traffic in the direction(s) indicated by the arrow(s) and indicates which directions road users may proceed when the green arrow appears. RTR 162. Drivers who entered the intersection in accordance with a traffic light signal permitting them to proceed may continue in their intended direction regardless of the traffic light signal shown when the vehicle is leaving the intersection. However, if the 'STOP' sign and/or a 'Stop' line is present at the intersection before other traffic lights on the route, the driver must obey every traffic light signal. RTR 165. If traffic light signals or traffic officers prohibit driving, drivers must stop before the 'STOP' sign and/or the 'Stop' line if present; if not, they must stop before the traffic lights, before the carriageway they are about to cross or join, or before a pedestrian or bicycle crossing so as not to obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
