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.

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.

By selecting the appropriate heating/ventilation mode, you will reduce condensation building up on your windows; by using windscreen wipers, you will wipe fogged up window ensuring good visibility; by switching on the fog lamps, you will make the road more visible, and for other road users it will be easier to notice you. RTR 98. The fog lamps may be used only when visibility is seriously reduced, and the front ones – in the event of failure of the front left-side dipped-beam headlamp. Poor visibility shall mean a situation caused by weather conditions or other phenomena when road visibility is less than 300 meters regardless of the road parameters.

According to rule 131.1: On motorways, from April to October the maximum speed for passenger cars, goods vehicles with a permissible maximum weight up to 3.5 tonnes, motorcycles, and tricycles is 130 km/h, and from November to March it is 110 km/h. On expressways (highways) the limit is 120 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March. On roads with asphalt or concrete pavement the limit is 90 km/h, and on other roads it is 70 km/h.

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

On roads (especially those with ruts) during heavy rain, water can accumulate on the asphalt because it cannot drain quickly toward the edges. If you accelerate under these conditions, the tire treads may be unable to disperse the accumulated water. The vehicle can aquaplane when a wedge of water lifts the tires off the road surface, reducing traction and making the vehicle difficult to control. If a vehicle begins to aquaplane, the driver should reduce speed to regain traction and stability.

For safety, check the vehicles behind you before changing lanes so you don't force them to brake suddenly. Also monitor following traffic immediately before turning, since other drivers may change speed or perform unexpected manoeuvres.

The parking brake may be used only in emergency situations (to prevent a collision) or if the foot brake fails.

The driver of the following vehicle must dip their headlights so as not to dazzle the driver ahead. The vehicle in front should switch to low beam only if the following vehicle begins to overtake, to avoid dazzling that driver. RTR 95. During darkness or in poor visibility, main beam headlights must be switched to low beam: 95.1 on illuminated roads; 95.2 when the distance to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction is at least 150 m; 95.3 in other cases when main beam lights can dazzle other drivers (even travelling in the same direction). JB

RTR 15. Driving vehicles that are not in good condition and that do not meet the technical requirements for vehicles (hereinafter referred to as "technical requirements") is prohibited. Before setting off, the driver of a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled machine must ensure the vehicle is in proper condition and that it carries a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and any other items required for specific vehicle types. The driver must also monitor the vehicle's technical condition during the trip. If the vehicle breaks down while driving and therefore does not meet the technical requirements and cannot be repaired, the driver may proceed to the nearest parking area or vehicle repair facility, taking all necessary precautions, except in the cases specified in paragraph 234 of these Rules.

If the steering wheel gets very easy to turn, it means that the vehicle tyres lost their traction on a slippery road surface. In this case, you have to reduce your speed. You should do it slowly because an abrupt change of engine revolutions or braking on a slippery road surface may cause the vehicle to skid or slide. 

A cardan shaft is a mechanical component with a universal joint at one or both ends. It transmits torque and rotational motion. It is used for the following reasons: - To accommodate misalignment between shafts; - To allow changes in shaft position (for example, when driving over uneven terrain); - To transmit torque.

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.

3. Terms used in the Road Traffic Rules: 3.2. 'Give way' means that drivers must stop, or must not begin to drive or manoeuvre, if doing so would require other vehicle drivers to change their direction of travel or their speed.

The distance between a stationary vehicle and a solid line (or the kerb) must be at least 3 metres. If the distance is exactly 3 metres, standing and parking are permitted. If the distance is less than 3 metres (for example, 2 metres), standing and parking are prohibited. RTR 150. Standing and parking are prohibited: 150.7 where there is a distance of less than 3 m between a stationary vehicle and a solid line of the road marking, the kerb, or, in its absence, the edge of the carriageway;

RTR 17. At the request of a police officer, a driver must submit to tests for alcohol intoxication or for intoxication caused by narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances, in the manner prescribed by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. RTR 14. It is prohibited to drive a vehicle if you are not authorized to do so, if you are under the influence of alcohol, narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or other psychoactive substances. A person who is fatigued or ill must not drive if driving may endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to a person who is under the influence of such factors or who is not authorized to drive that type of vehicle. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the conditions specified on the driving licence. JB

Traffic rules prohibit reversing only on motorways, expressways and in tunnels; otherwise reversing is allowed. U‑turns are prohibited here because they would require driving against the flow of traffic. RTR Annex 1, III — Restrictive signs: Road sign 332 'No stopping'. Vehicles must not stop or stand on the side of the road where this sign is placed, except for stopping at bus stops. The sign does not apply to vehicles displaying the distinguishing sign 'A person with a disability' or holding a parking card for people with disabilities. If the sign is used in combination with road marking 1.4, the prohibition applies until the end of that marking. RTR Annex 1, V — Special regulation signs: Road sign 503 'One-way traffic' — indicates a road or carriageway where vehicular traffic moves in one direction across the full width.

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

A vehicle's braking system is intended to slow the vehicle, bring it to a complete stop, and hold it stationary. Braking distance should be kept as short as possible, and you must maintain control of the vehicle while braking.

A driving licence of categories B and BE entitles the holder to drive a passenger car (RTR 14). It is prohibited to operate a vehicle if you do not have the legal right to do so, or if you are under the influence of alcohol, narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or other psychoactive substances. A person who is fatigued or ill must not drive if driving could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to anyone who is under the influence of the aforementioned factors or who is not authorized to drive that type of vehicle. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the restrictions and endorsements indicated on the driving licence.

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: 219.4. if a person has died or been injured in the road accident, report the accident to the police and remain at the scene of the accident or, after notifying the police, return to the scene and wait for the police to arrive, except in cases where the police permit the road user to leave the scene, or where casualties or the person reporting the accident require urgent first aid; 220. If no deaths or injuries occurred in the road accident and the road users involved in the accident agree on the circumstances of the accident and do not call the police to the scene, the road users involved must draw the accident diagram on the Road Accident Report Form, describe the circumstances in writing, and have it signed by all involved road users. If none of the road users involved has the Road Accident Report Form, the circumstances may be described and the diagram drawn on a blank sheet of paper where all road users involved, their vehicles, and witnesses are listed, and all details and circumstances of the accident are confirmed by the signatures of the road users involved. Where the circumstances of the accident are disputed, the police must be called to the scene.

Difference between active and passive safety: - Active safety: systems and features that help prevent accidents by improving vehicle control, handling and stability before a collision occurs. These measures operate before an impact and commonly include technologies such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), traction control, correct tyre pressure and adequate tread depth, among others. Active safety also depends on the driver’s condition and behavior — for example, poor ventilation or heating can cause drowsiness or nausea and reduce attention on the road. - Passive safety: systems and equipment designed to reduce injury and damage during or after a collision. These features are activated in a crash to protect occupants and other road users and include seat belts, airbags, motorcycle helmets, seat-belt reminders, head restraints, crumple zones and other structural or restraint systems that absorb impact and lower the risk of injury.

RTR 44. Pedestrians may enter the carriageway only after assessing the distance to and speed of approaching vehicles and ensuring it is safe to proceed. Before stepping onto or while moving along the carriageway, pedestrians must refrain from actions (such as using mobile devices) that would distract them from observing the surroundings and traffic conditions and would prevent them from confirming it is safe to continue.

If the red battery warning light illuminates while the engine is running, it indicates the alternator (generator) has failed and the battery is not being charged.

It is not prohibited to tow a vehicle if its engine fails or stops working. If the engine does not work, the brakes will work improperly since the brake servo will not work. It will also be difficult to turn the steering wheel since the power steering will not work. If a vehicle is towed using a dolly, towing is prohibited if only part of the vehicle rests on the dolly. It is allowed when the whole vehicle rests on the dolly. RTR 217. The following vehicle towing and transporting practices shall be prohibited:  217.1. towing a vehicle with a broken-down steering mechanism using a tow rope or a rigid tow bar;  217.10. carrying a vehicle with part of it resting on a dolly. 

RTR 136. Drivers should avoid unnecessary overtaking maneuvers. Before overtaking, drivers must take extra precautions 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 signaling a left turn; 136.3 the portion of the lane required for overtaking is clear and the maneuver will not obstruct oncoming traffic or pedestrians on the carriageway; 136.4 a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken will be maintained throughout the maneuver; 136.5 after overtaking, the driver can safely return to the original lane without obstructing the overtaken vehicle.

The Road Traffic Rules prohibit stopping on a pedestrian crossing. At the same time, general duties require road users to avoid or minimise harm. RTR III.9: Road users must take all necessary precautions; they must not endanger the safety or health of other road users or third parties, damage property, or obstruct traffic. Road users should also make every reasonable effort to avoid or reduce harmful effects, except where such measures would put their own life or health or the life or health of others at risk, or would cause greater damage than the damage avoided. RTR V.32: A driver must not enter a pedestrian crossing until pedestrians who must be given way have left the lane occupied by the driver, and must not enter if there is an obstruction (e.g., congestion) ahead that could force the vehicle to stop. RTR XVII.150: Standing and parking are prohibited: 150.4 on pedestrian crossings and within 5 metres before them; and, on roads with one lane in each direction, also within 5 metres after pedestrian crossings.

If a bend in the road is sharper than anticipated, you must reduce your speed.

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.

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