“By dividing these lanes and making two, we want to give public transport, cyclists and people with individual needs as much opportunity and freedom of movement as possible. Taking into account the ongoing changes in the entire transport sector, we have initiated these changes to the Road Traffic Rules, ”says Julius Skačkauskas, Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications.
The amendments to the KET stipulate that only scheduled transport may travel on the road marked with the road sign “Traffic lane for regular transport” and the letter “A”.
On the road marked with the road sign “Lane for regular transport” and the symbol “A +”, non-regular vehicles are prohibited from driving in this lane, except for bicycles, mopeds and light quadricycles.
