When December is nearing the end, is exactly the time when we celebrate Merry Christmas and the New Year, perhaps the most anticipated holidays of the year. Many tend to take advantage of the days between these two holidays for relaxation, visiting their relatives. The State Enterprise Lithuanian Road Administration (hereinafter – the Road Administration) reminds how to prepare and ensure that our travels are safe and as smooth as possible.

In winter, all road users must pay attention to changing weather conditions and precipitation, which directly affect driving conditions. At the same time, most drivers probably notice that some roads are cleaned and sanded or salted more often, while other roads are cleaned and sanded or salted less often. And there are roads that are not sprinkled with any anti-slip agents, and only excessive snow is cleared of them.
