RTR 3.1. "Service vehicles" are vehicles owned by companies, institutions, or organisations operating in an area marked by restrictive signs; vehicles belonging to persons who live or work in that area; vehicles delivering goods to that area or collecting goods from it; and taxis or other passenger vehicles providing paid transport to or from that area.

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

A safe speed depends on all circumstances, including weather, road surface and vehicle condition, as well as the driver's experience and level of alertness. (RTR 127) Drivers must not exceed the permissible speed limits. A driver must choose a speed appropriate to the conditions — taking into account terrain, road and vehicle condition (including load), weather, and traffic density — so that they can stop safely before any foreseeable obstruction. The driver must reduce speed or stop when conditions require, particularly when visibility is poor. 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.

If the load projects less than 1 m beyond the front or rear of the vehicle, marking is not required (RTR 2.10). Any motor vehicle carrying a load that extends more than 1 m beyond the front or rear, or beyond the sides of the vehicle, must have the extremities of the load marked as specified in Annex 4 to these Rules (RTR 4.12). The extremities of loads protruding more than 1 m in front or rear, any projection to the side, and extremities of vehicles wider than 2.6 m must bear distinguishing marks — 400 mm square plates covered with alternating diagonal reflective white and red stripes 50 mm wide. These plates must be mounted not lower than 0.4 m and not higher than 1.6 m above ground level. During hours of darkness or when visibility is poor, such vehicles must have lights at the projecting points: white at the front, amber at the sides and red at the rear. JB

Wild animals typically travel in groups. If you see a lone roe deer, deer, or wild boar, others are likely nearby. Herding instincts lead animals to cross roads together rather than individually.

The driver's reaction time is delayed by illness, fatigue, or the influence of alcohol or drugs. Distraction and poor concentration while driving also lengthen reaction time, and reaction speed typically decreases with age. RTR 14. Driving is prohibited if you are not authorized to operate the vehicle, or if you are intoxicated or under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances. A person who is tired or ill must not drive if doing so could endanger road safety. A vehicle must not be entrusted to anyone affected by these factors or without the required authorization for that vehicle type. When operating a vehicle, the driver must comply with the requirements shown on their driving licence.

RTR 38. Persons moving in a wheelchair, or guiding a motorcycle, moped, bicycle, motorised two‑wheeled vehicle, electric micromobility device, or pulling (pushing) a sledge or handcart along the shoulder or edge of the carriageway must proceed in single file and only in the direction of traffic. RTR 64. Cyclists must not: 64.1. ride on the carriageway, except in cases permitted by the Rules. RTR 57. Bicycles may be ridden only on cycle tracks, combined footpath/cycle tracks, or cycle lanes; if none of these are available, bicycles may be ridden on a suitable hard shoulder (with asphalt or concrete surfacing). When a right‑side cycle track, combined footpath/cycle track, cycle lane, or suitable hard shoulder is not available or is unsuitable for cycling (for example, pitted), cyclists may use the pavement or ride in single file on the right‑hand lane of the carriageway, keeping to the right edge of the lane, except in the cases specified in paragraph 106 of these Rules and except when cyclists must bypass an obstruction or continue straight where turning right from the first lane is the only permitted manoeuvre. When riding on a hard shoulder, footpath, cycle track, or pavement, a cyclist must yield to pedestrians, must not obstruct or endanger them, and should pass pedestrians at a speed close to walking pace (3–7 km/h), leaving sufficient lateral clearance to ensure safety.

RTR 16. A driver must stop the vehicle when ordered by an inspecting officer. The driver of a motor vehicle, tractor or self-propelled vehicle shall 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 (including tactical and logistical vehicles) or their combinations with trailers; the vehicle registration documents; the certificate of the compulsory roadworthiness test and 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 any other documents required by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania and these Rules (except in cases 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 meters that record driving time and rest periods. Documents shall be presented without leaving the vehicle. The driver may leave the vehicle only with the inspecting officer's permission. RTR 91. If hazard warning lights are fitted in a vehicle, they must be switched on: 91.3. when the vehicle is stopped by an inspecting officer;

The higher a vehicle's center of gravity (for example, when carrying tall loads or items on the roof), the greater the risk of rollover when cornering.

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.

Symptoms associated with long-term use become more pronounced with continued consumption. The most serious psychiatric complication is cannabis‑induced psychosis. Users may experience dramatic mood swings, perceptual distortions, anxiety, and aggression. In people with preexisting mental illness, even brief exposure to cannabis can trigger psychosis. Men who begin heavy cannabis use at an early age have an increased risk of developing schizophrenia.

Explanation of terms: • To brake — press the brake pedal; the vehicle decelerates quickly and stops before the expected obstacle. • To release the accelerator pedal — lift your foot off the gas; the vehicle will slow down gradually without stopping completely and will continue moving. • To maintain your current speed — keep the accelerator pedal in the same position; the vehicle continues at a constant speed. RTR 127. Drivers must not exceed the permissible speed limit. The driver must select a driving speed appropriate to the driving conditions, in particular the terrain, the condition of the road and the vehicle (including the load), weather conditions and traffic density, so that the vehicle can be stopped safely before any foreseeable obstacle. The driver must slow down and stop when driving circumstances require it, especially when visibility is poor. RTR 135. Drivers must not: 135.2. exceed the speed limit specified on the vehicle marking plate; 135.3. drive unnecessarily slowly and impede the normal flow of traffic for other road users; 135.4. slow down abruptly for reasons other than safety.

131. The following speed limits apply outside built-up areas: 131.2. Vehicles of categories A1, A2, A or B driven by novice drivers, persons learning to drive or taking a practical driving test, and buses (including school buses) are subject to the following maximum speeds: 100 km/h on motorways, 90 km/h on highways, 80 km/h on roads with asphalt or concrete pavement, and 70 km/h on other roads.

You improve road safety by planning your journey and anticipating traffic situations. Eco-driving reduces air pollution: the more fuel you consume, the more emissions you produce; by using less fuel you lower air pollution. Fuel savings are the primary objective of eco-driving. Drivers also experience less stress because maintaining steady acceleration, avoiding abrupt braking, and staying aware of traffic conditions simplifies decision-making. Eco-driving improves driving skills by encouraging anticipation and focus on the road. It also reduces noise levels: smoother acceleration and braking produce less engine and tire noise than aggressive driving.

According to the traffic regulations, vehicles fitted with studded tyres must not be used from April 10 to October 31. Therefore, winter tyres without studs are permitted during that period. However, using summer tyres is recommended in warm conditions. If winter conditions persist, the Minister of Transport and Communications may issue an order extending the permitted use of studded tyres.

Braking sharply in heavy traffic is dangerous because drivers following you often do not maintain a safe distance and may collide with your vehicle when you brake suddenly.

RTR 92. If the emergency warning light 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 to the direction of travel: in settlements, not closer than 25 m, and outside settlements, not closer than 50 m from the stopped vehicle. If at least one rear position lamp is defective and the hazard warning lights do not work while driving in darkness or poor visibility, an emergency stop sign must be attached 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 hazard warning lights if available and/or place a warning triangle on the road as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules, and remove the vehicle from the road as soon as possible. If drivers intend to stop on unlit road sections at night or in poor visibility and hazard warning lights are unavailable or inoperable, the vehicle must be parked off the carriageway. If this is impossible, the place must be marked as specified in Paragraph 92 of the Rules. JB

According to RTR Annex 4.12: Any load whose extreme edge projects more than 1 m beyond the front or rear of the vehicle—or which projects even minimally to the side—or any vehicle wider than 2.6 m must be marked with distinctive signs: squares 400 mm on a side with diagonal alternating reflective white and red stripes 50 mm wide. These signs must be mounted between 0.4 m and 1.6 m above ground level. During hours of darkness or when visibility is poor, such vehicles must also display lights in designated positions: white at the front, amber (orange) on the sides, and red at the rear.

The yellow vehicle goes first because it is the only one without a vehicle to its right obstructing its path. Next comes the green vehicle, and last is the red vehicle. RTR 155. At an uncontrolled intersection, drivers must yield to vehicles approaching from the right when their trajectories intersect.

Regulation RTR 173. Drivers must not: 173.3. enter a level crossing after the barrier has been lowered or is in the process of being lowered; deliberately lift the barrier; or drive around the barriers.

RTR 144. Vehicles must stop and park on the carriageway in a single line. RTR 145. Motorcycles without a sidecar, mopeds, bicycles, and electric micromobility devices may be parked in two lines provided such parking does not obstruct traffic.

The green vehicle is on the main (priority) road, so it does not need to give way to the blue vehicle when turning left. Right-of-way rules vary depending on whether an intersection is controlled: at a controlled intersection, drivers entering from a side road must yield to traffic on the priority road. See rule 154.

RTR 81. Warning signals include: using turn and brake lights (arm signals may be used), sounding the horn, switching the headlights on and off, activating hazard warning lights or flashing amber beacons, and placing a warning triangle on the road or attaching it to the vehicle.

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.

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY Article 2. §84. "Vehicle keeper" shall mean a person in possession of and using a vehicle by virtue of ownership, trust, lease, hire, or another lawful basis.

On roads with four or more lanes, a double solid line separates opposing traffic flows. It prohibits driving in lanes that carry traffic in the opposite direction on the marked section; vehicles must not cross this line.

129. The maximum speed limit within built-up areas for all vehicles is 50 km/h.

When driving under the influence of alcohol, attention and comprehension are reduced; critical thinking and memory are impaired; coordination of movements deteriorates; reflexes are weakened or lost; drivers take longer to perceive signals and interpret situations; overall driving performance declines, reaction times slow, and vehicle control worsens or may be lost.
