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.

It is planned that next year another 50 ASMSs (100 devices) will be installed on the roads of national importance.

A unique section of road in Jurbarkas district, in the construction of which slag generated after the conversion of non-hazardous waste into energy was used, was completed. It is the first project of this kind in Lithuania. Its purpose is to analyse the road in detail and determine the impact of slag on road operation. After completion of research and after evaluating the results achieved, it will be possible to decide on the further use of slag on Lithuanian roads.

This year, for the first time the State Enterprise Lithuanian Road Administration (hereinafter – the Road Administration) organises for Lithuanian schools the remote Battle of Minds on the topic of traffic safety ‘Safe Students 2021’.
