RTR 30. When approaching an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing, a driver must slow down or stop before the crossing to yield to pedestrians who have stepped into any lane, are walking in any lane, or are standing at the edge of the carriageway waiting to step into a lane in the direction of the vehicle's travel (or into any lane on a single-lane road with traffic in both directions). Drivers must exercise extra caution at night, in poor visibility, or when the crossing is not clearly visible from the driver's position, and must ensure there are no pedestrians entitled to priority at the crossing.

According to the Road Traffic Rules (RTR), a blue sign showing the settlement name in white letters indicates the start of a settlement where the special traffic regulations that normally apply within built-up areas do NOT apply. By contrast, a sign with the settlement name in black letters on a white background marks the start of a settlement where built-up-area traffic rules are in force (RTR 131). The following maximum speeds apply outside built-up areas (RTR 131.1): for passenger cars, light goods vehicles with a permissible maximum mass up to 3.5 tonnes, motorcycles and tricycles — on motorways: 130 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; on expressways/highways: 120 km/h from April to October and 110 km/h from November to March; on roads with asphalt or concrete pavement: 90 km/h; on other roads: 70 km/h. See road sign 612: Beginning of a built-up area where special built-up-area rules do not apply. Road sign 613: End of a built-up area (marked by sign 616); it may show the name of another settlement and the distance to it.

RTR 26. Drivers of other vehicles must not enter the space between a learner driver—who is learning to operate a moped, motorcycle, tricycle, or any type of quadricycle—and the driving instructor who is accompanying the learner in a vehicle. During the training period the learner must wear a high-visibility vest marked with the distinguishing sign 'M' on both the front and the back. A driving instructor who accompanies the learner on a motorcycle must also wear a vest of the same type bearing the words 'DRIVING INSTRUCTOR'. If the instructor accompanies the learner in a car, the car must display the identifying marking specified in Annex 4 of these Rules.

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

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.

Even at 30 km/h, a collision can seriously endanger the health or life of drivers and passengers. For example, in a head-on collision between two vehicles travelling in opposite directions.

RTR XVI.140. Overtaking is prohibited. Clause 140.8: in residential areas, courtyards of apartment buildings, parking lots, and bicycle streets. JB

The order no. 1V-328 of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania in 2008 September 10  "On Approval of the Rules for Issuing Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" ch. II. p. 7: 7. A new driver's license is issued when: 7.1. the previous driver's license expires or has already expired; 7.2. the previous driver's license was lost (lost, stolen, etc.); 7.3. the driver's license is worn or damaged; 7.4. the data entered in the driver's license has changed; 7.5. the driver's state of health has changed; 7.6. the applicant wishes to obtain a driver's license to drive motor vehicles of another category(ies) or seeks to acquire the right to drive motor vehicles for the first time; 7.7. the applicant wishes to change the driver's license of the old model to a new model; 7.8. the applicant wishes to obtain a driver's license instead of one issued in another state; 7.9. the applicant wishes to receive a driver's license instead of a destroyed one. SEAK Art. 22 4. Driver's licenses are issued for a period of no longer than 10 years, and the right to drive C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D, DE category vehicles is valid for no longer than 5 years from the date of issuance of the driver's license. SEAK Art. 22 5. Novice drivers are issued with a driver's license valid for 3 years, which they will have the right to change to a driver's license valid for 10 years after 2 years from the date of its issuance, in accordance with the procedure established by the Minister of the Interior or his authorized institution, without completing additional driver's training, if within 2 years from on the day of issuance of the issued driver's license did not violate the requirement(s) of the KET, for which additional driver training is provided for in this law, or did not cause a traffic accident that impaired the health of the road user (except for cases where the traffic accident was caused under circumstances that eliminate criminal liability or circumstances when a person is not brought to administrative responsibility). A driver who, as a novice driver, violated the KET requirement(s) for which additional driver training is provided for in this law, or caused a traffic accident that impaired the health of a road user (except for cases where the traffic accident was caused by criminal liability extenuating circumstances or circumstances where the person is not held administratively responsible), additional driver training must be completed within one year from the date of entry into force of the resolution (court verdict) by which the person was recognized as having committed a violation of the law or from the date of execution of the administrative order issued after committing an administrative offense. In cases where a court verdict or criminal order imposes an arrest or a term of imprisonment and the execution of the imposed sentence is not postponed, the additional training of drivers must be completed within one year of the execution of the imposed sentence. JB

Vehicles may be approaching from the rear on the left-hand side, so opening the door could be unsafe. (RTR 148) Do not open the doors of a parked vehicle if doing so would create an obstruction or pose a hazard to other road users.

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.

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

The Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania Article 281.1. When under the influence of alcohol with a blood alcohol content of 1.51 per mille and more, people who drive a motor vehicle, tractor, or self-propelled vehicle or teach a learner driver to drive; or who avoided a field sobriety test when identified with the signs of intoxication; or who had consumed alcohol after a road accident before the circumstances of the road accident were figured out and had been found intoxicated with a blood alcohol content of 1.51 per mille and more shall be punished by a fine or arrest or by imprisonment for a term of up to one year. 

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

RTR 40. An organised group of children under 16, accompanied by at least two adults, may use pavements, footpaths, or the pedestrian side of shared footpath and cycle tracks if available. If none of these facilities are present, the group may walk along the hard shoulder, but only in daylight hours when visibility is good, in no more than two files walking against the flow of traffic, and only when it is safe to do so. Accompanying adults must be positioned at the front and rear of the column and wear high-visibility vests. It is recommended that all children in the organised group wear high-visibility vests when walking along the hard shoulder.

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.

Even if another driver breaks the rules by overtaking or exceeding the speed limit, you must not endanger other road users — allow that driver to overtake you. 4. Road users shall follow the principle of mutual respect and safety.

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.

RTR XI. WARNING SIGNALS (paras. 81–93). Paragraph 87: A driver who issues a warning signal does not have the right of way.

The parking brake may be used to help slow the vehicle if the service (main) brakes fail.

It is prohibited to drive a vehicle if the main brake is inoperative, as this creates a danger to road safety. According to technical requirements, tyres mounted on the same axle must be of the same type and have identical tread patterns. Tyres with different tread patterns can cause instability under braking and reduce traction, creating a road safety risk; therefore driving such a vehicle is prohibited. RTR 234. A driver must not operate a motor vehicle, a tractor, or a self-propelled machine with: 234.1. a defective foot brake (the driver cannot stop the vehicle); 234.2. a defective steering mechanism (the driver cannot control the vehicle); 234.3. a defective coupling device between the vehicle and a trailer; 234.4. a defective windscreen wiper on the driver's side in snow, rain, or fog; 234.5. faulty front left-side lamps (dipped-beam headlamp and fog lamp) during hours of darkness or when visibility is poor, or if at least one rear position lamp has failed, hazard warning lights are not functioning (or are switched off), or a warning triangle is not affixed to the rear of the vehicle.

LAW ON ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY — Article 22(12). Persons aged 24 or older who have at least two years' driving experience with a category B licence and who have completed practical training for category A1 vehicles in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Transport and Communications or its authorised institution are granted the right to drive category A1 vehicles within the territory of the Republic of Lithuania.

Always make safety your priority. That means thinking ahead, planning your actions, and anticipating the behavior of other road users.

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.

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.

RTR 168. Before entering and crossing a level crossing, road users must obey road signs, road markings, the position of barriers, traffic lights, audible warnings, and the signals of level crossing attendants/controllers. Before entering a level crossing, a road user must always ensure that no rail vehicle is approaching the level crossing. It is recommended that children under 12 be accompanied by an adult when crossing a level crossing.

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.

If you press the accelerator suddenly on a slippery road, the driving wheels may start to spin, further smoothing and polishing the wheel track on the slippery surface. This reduces traction; as a result the tires can lose grip more quickly and the vehicle may skid or slide sideways.
