RTR 221. Road users involved in a traffic accident must refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages, medications, narcotic drugs, or any other intoxicating substances immediately after the accident until they have either undergone, or formally refused, a test to determine drunkenness or impairment caused by a narcotic, psychotropic, or any other substance.

Passengers may board or alight from the roadway side only when it is impossible to do so from the pavement (sidewalk) or hard shoulder, and only if it can be done safely without obstructing other road users.

Drivers with their blood alcohol content exceeding 1.5 per mille shall be punished by a fine or arrest or by a custodial sentence for a term of up to one year (since 01/01/2017). Drink-driving can be punishable both criminally and administratively. The types of liability depend on the specific situation and the seriousness of the offence: Administrative liability - applies when the offences are less serious. Criminal liability - applies when the offence is particularly serious or the driving endangers traffic safety, the health or life of others. The Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania Article 420. 2. Reckless driving, i.e. a violation of the Road Traffic Rules endangering traffic safety or the safety of oneself or other people because of hooligan incentives, incurs a fine: ranging between EUR 450 and EUR 550 for drivers and ranging between EUR 750 and EUR 1,000 for those who are not entitled to drive vehicles. The Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania Article 420. 4. The acts provided for in Paragraph 2 of this Article committed by an intoxicated person (mildly intoxicated: more than 0.4 per mille but not exceeding 1.5 per mille) or a person under the influence of drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances as well as a person who avoided performing a field sobriety test or a person who had used alcohol, drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances before the test impose a fine ranging between EUR 850 and EUR 1,200 on drivers.  The Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania Article 281. 7. People who drive a road vehicle or teach a learner driver to drive when under the influence of alcohol with their blood alcohol content exceeding 1.5 per mille shall be punished by a fine or arrest or by a custodial sentence for a term of up to one year. 

RTR 92. If the vehicle's hazard warning lights are absent or defective and an emergency stop is required where stopping or parking is prohibited, in the event of an accident, or when the stopped vehicle would be visible to other road users from less than 100 metres, the driver of a motor vehicle (excluding a motor moped and motorcycles without a trailer), a tractor, or a self-propelled machine must immediately place an emergency stop sign on the side of the carriageway opposite the direction of travel: within settlements not less than 25 m, and outside settlements not less than 50 m from the stopped vehicle. If at least one rear position lamp is defective and the hazard warning signal is not working when driving in darkness or poor visibility, an emergency stop sign must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle in order to continue driving.

RTR 154. At a controlled intersection, drivers on a side road must yield to vehicles on the priority road.

RTR 143. Standing on unlit sections of the road during the hours of darkness or when visibility is poor is permitted with hazard warning lights on, and parking is permitted only in car parks or off-road areas.  

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 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

The option "More than 1 meter long" is incorrect because the RTR do not specify any marking requirement based on the cart's length. Under RTR 41: pedestrians moving along an unlit hard shoulder or along the edge of the carriageway, or standing there during hours of darkness or when visibility is poor, must carry a torch visible to other road users, wear a high-visibility vest, or carry a reflector visible to other road users. A pulled or pushed handcart wider than 1 m must have reflectors affixed on its left side: a white reflector at the front and a red reflector at the rear. JB

If bright headlights are reflected in your rearview mirror, in addition to the measures listed in Paragraph 96 you can quickly activate the mirror's anti‑dazzle setting by flipping the switch at its base (if fitted). This engages the automatic dimming function and reduces glare. According to RTR 96, a dazzled driver must turn on the hazard warning lights, reduce speed without changing direction, and stop if necessary.

In this situation the driver must hold at least a category B driving licence; the driver is not required to hold a category C licence. LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 23. Categories of motor vehicles and the minimum driving age. 1. Categories of motor vehicles and their combinations with trailers are: 6) Category B: vehicles with a permissible maximum weight not exceeding 3,500 kg and designed and constructed to carry no more than eight passengers, excluding the driver; these vehicles may be combined with a trailer whose permissible maximum weight does not exceed 750 kg; they may also be combined with a trailer whose permissible maximum weight exceeds 750 kg, provided that the permissible maximum weight of the vehicle combination does not exceed 4,250 kg; a vehicle combination with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 3,500 kg (including a trailer with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 750 kg) may be driven only after passing a practical skills and behaviour test at the state enterprise "Regitra".

When you see a pothole, reduce your speed and try to steer around it. If avoidance is impossible and an impact cannot be prevented, release the brakes just before the pothole and straighten the steering — this reduces the chance of damaging the tire or suspension components.

JB

In winter, air temperatures can easily drop to -25 °C or lower, causing diesel vehicles to experience starting problems. When temperatures fall below 0 °C, water in diesel fuel can freeze; failing to prepare a diesel vehicle for such conditions may lead to breakdowns. At service stations you can choose “summer” diesel, typically suitable from May through October, or “winter” diesel, formulated for use from November through April and adapted to low sub-zero temperatures.

Drivers approaching a road bend should be aware the bend may be sharper than it appears. Choose a safe speed and the correct road position to avoid entering the oncoming lane. A safe speed depends on all circumstances: weather, road and vehicle condition (including load), driver experience and fitness. According to RTR 127, drivers must not exceed the legal speed limit. When selecting speed, consider the terrain, road and vehicle condition, load, weather and traffic density so you can stop safely for any foreseeable obstacle. Drivers must slow down and stop when conditions require, especially if visibility is poor.

48. A trailer is a vehicle designed to be towed by a motor vehicle. Semi-trailers are also regarded as trailers. 52. A semi-trailer is a trailer coupled to a motor vehicle in such a way that part of its weight and the weight of its load are borne by the motor vehicle.

A slippery road surface is hazardous because tyre grip on the pavement is greatly reduced. As a result, stopping distances increase and the vehicle may skid sideways when negotiating a bend.

RTR 203. A driver must ensure that children transported in a motor vehicle use the appropriate installed and correctly fitted restraint systems. JB

Persons under 14 years of age are not permitted to ride bicycles on roads. However, those who complete an additional training course and obtain a school-issued certificate may ride on roads from age 12. Within residential areas, there is no minimum age restriction for cyclists.

A central reservation is not part of the carriageway. A carriageway is the portion of a road intended for vehicular traffic.

Although the road sign normally prohibits overtaking, overtaking vehicles traveling at speeds under 30 km/h is permitted provided it can be done safely. Road sign 325 — “Overtaking prohibited” forbids overtaking, except for individual vehicles (or individual vehicle combinations) traveling at speeds under 30 km/h. Road sign 805 — “Validity zone ahead” indicates the length of the zone beyond the sign during which a hazardous road section or other associated signs remain in effect.

Drivers of special (emergency) vehicles — such as ambulances, police, and fire service vehicles — may use blue and red (or only blue) flashing lights and special audible signals when necessary to: (1) save human life or health; (2) protect property; (3) ensure public order and traffic safety; (4) apprehend persons suspected of offences; or (5) escort or accompany official delegates and protected persons. Flashing lights must be visible in all directions (360°). While using these signals, drivers of special vehicles may disregard certain traffic rules specified in the Regulations, provided they do not jeopardize traffic safety and only after ensuring that other road users are giving way. They must drive cautiously and avoid creating danger to other road users. Other road users are required to give way immediately to such vehicles so they can pass safely and quickly. The right of way also applies to drivers of vehicles being escorted by special vehicles.

RTR 195. Drivers must not: 195.1. carry more passengers than are permitted by the vehicle's technical specifications; JB

When driving at high speed, tires are subjected to greater loads and wear more quickly. (RTR 127.) Drivers must not exceed the posted speed limit. A driver must choose a driving speed appropriate to the prevailing conditions — in particular the terrain, the condition of the road and the vehicle (including the load), the weather, and traffic density — so as to be able to stop safely before any predictable obstacle. The driver must reduce speed or stop when conditions require it, especially when visibility is poor. JB

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

629. 'Place of Interest' sign. Indicates the name of a cultural or historical site of interest. The sign has a brown background.

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.

Outside built-up areas, a driver may warn others when overtaking by flashing the high or low beams (provided this does not dazzle other road users) or by sounding the horn. Within built-up areas, flashing the lights is permitted if it does not dazzle others; sounding the horn is prohibited except when necessary to avoid a traffic accident. RTR — 89.
