1. Summary 

In  2024,  Lithuania  was  just  below  the  EU  average  (45),  with  42  fatalities  per  million 
inhabitants. Compared to 2019, an impressive decrease of 33% in road fatalities was achieved. 
In  2023,  490  people  were  seriously  injured  in  road  crashes,  which  is  59%  higher  than  the 
respective figure in 2019. 

Compared  to  the  EU  average,  the  distribution  of  fatalities  in  Lithuania  showed  a  high 
proportion of car occupants and fatalities on roads outside urban areas. 49% of killed road users 
were car occupants in 2023 and 64% of road crash fatalities occurred on non-motorway roads 
outside urban areas. In addition, the number of serious injuries inside urban areas and among 
powered two wheelers has considerably increased between 2019 and 2023. 

Lithuania has set the targets of halving the numbers of road fatalities and serious injuries 
by 2030 compared to 2020. The road safety goals and programme for the decade 2021-2030 
are  defined  by  three  key  strategic  documents  in  Lithuania.  The  Memorandum  "On  the 
Implementation of the Road Safety Program 'Vision Zero'" contains 42 road safety measures 
grouped into five pillars. 

Based on the latest available data, Lithuania is well on track to meet the 2030 fatality target, 
with  a  33%  reduction  since  2019.  More  specifically,  the  observed  number  of  fatalities  was 
about 11% lower than the target value for 2024. On the other hand, Lithuania is  not yet on 
track towards achieving the 2030 target of 50% reduction in serious injuries.   

Regarding the progress of the implementation of the road safety actions foreseen in the national 
strategy  for  the  period  2021-2024,  there  is  a  smooth  implementation  flow  without  any 
particular gaps being reported. Lithuania starts from a medium level for most of the examined 
road safety areas (15 out of 26). Based on the self-reported assessment, the baseline is assessed 
as high for 10 road safety areas and as low in 1. The implementation of the measures in 7 road 
safety areas has been completed, while all remaining measures are on track.  

Several best practices are available for Lithuania, including measures related to the pillars of 
safe speeds and safe roads. Some examples are the sustainable mobility plan of Vilnius, the 
increase in the length of cycle lanes, the automatic prevention of exceeding speed limits with 
the rented electric scooters and the installation of speed cameras on motorways. 

The  implementation  progress  of  the  foreseen  actions  appears  to  be  well  on  track,  which  is 
reflected to some extent in the road safety performance in terms of fatalities, with Lithuania 
being well on track to reach the 2030 target. On the other hand, the upward trend in the number 
of  serious  injuries  in  Lithuania  makes  it  necessary  to  take  measures  and  explore  any  other 
relevant activities, with a focus on crashes inside urban areas and vulnerable road users. 

2. Road Safety Strategy and Measures 

2.1 Road Safety Strategy 

The road safety goals and programme of Lithuania for the decade 2021-2030 are defined within 
three  documents:  the  National  Progress  Plan  for  2021-2030,  the  Transport  Development 
Programme  2022-2030  and  the  Memorandum  "On  the  Implementation  of  the  Road  Safety 
Program 'Vision Zero'". 

2 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  National  Progress  Plan  for  2021–2030  (NPP  2021–2030)  was  adopted  by  the 
Government  resolution  No.  998  on  September  9,  2020.  It  was  developed  to  define  the  key 
changes  to  be  pursued  over  the  decade  2021-2030,  ensuring  progress  in  social,  economic, 
environmental,  and  security  areas.  To  implement  the  changes  outlined  in  NPP  2021–2030, 
national development programs are being prepared. Ten strategic goals for the decade 2021-
2030  have  been  set.  The  strategic  goals  and  progress  objectives  of  NPP  2021–2030  are 
complemented by horizontal principles aimed at consistently and comprehensively shaping a 
specific approach and behaviour necessary for achieving all goals and objectives.

implementing 

The  Transport  Development  Program  2022–2030  (Resolution  of  The  Government  of  the 
Republic of Lithuania No. 245 March 16, 2022) is a strategic planning document setting out 
the strategic goal, the objectives and tasks aimed at reaching the goal, their evaluation criteria 
and 
the  Program.  The  Ministry  of  Transport  and 
Communications,  the  Ministry  of  the  Interior,  the  Ministry  of  Health,  and  the  Ministry  of 
Education, Science, and Sports, within their areas of competence, are assigned to include the 
measures  of  the  National  Road  Safety  Program  "Vision  Zero"  into  their  institutions' 
development  programs  (as  progress  measures  or  activities  of  progress  measures  while 
preparing  descriptions  of  progress  measures)  or  strategic  activity  plans  (as  measures  of 
continuous activities). 

On April 18, 2024, an interinstitutional Memorandum “On the Implementation of the Road 
Safety Program “Vision Zero”” was signed regarding the implementation of the measures of 
the national road safety program “Vision Zero”. The Memorandum sets the target of halving 
the  number  of  road  fatalities  by  2030  compared  to  2020.  The  memorandum  was  signed  by 
representatives  from  the  Ministries  of  Transport  and  Communications,  Ministry  of  Interior, 
Ministry  of  Education,  Science  and  Sport,  Police,  Fire  and  Rescue  Department  under  the 
Ministry  of  Interior,  the  Association  of  Municipalities,  and  other  institutions.  The 
Memorandum  includes  42  road  safety  measures,  distributed  among  the  11  signatory 
institutions.

2.3 Road Safety Targets 

The  following  targets  have  been  set  at  the  National  Road  Safety  Strategy  2021-2030  of 
Lithuania: 

•  By 2030, a 50% reduction in fatalities compared to 2020 

•  By 2030, a 50% reduction in serious injuries compared to 2020 

In terms of fatality rates, the following target has been set:  

•  Reduction of fatalities from 63 fatalities/ million inhabitants in 2020 to ≤30 fatalities/ 

million inhabitants by 2030. 
Interim targets have been also set for 2025: 

•  By 2025, ≤45 fatalities/per million inhabitants  
•  By 2025, a 25% reduction in serious injuries compared to 2020 

2.4 Road Safety Measures 

A total of 42 road safety measures grouped into five pillars are included in the Memorandum 
"On the Implementation of the Road Safety Program 'Vision Zero'" of Lithuania1.

3.1 Road Safety Outcomes 

In Lithuania, 124 people were killed in road crashes in 2024 and 490 people were seriously 
injured in road crashes in 2023. Based on data for 2024, Lithuania ranked 13th out of the 27 EU 
countries in terms of the lowest numbers of fatalities per million inhabitants. In fact, 43 road 
fatalities per million inhabitants were recorded that year, which is just below the EU average 
(45).

Figure 18.1 Mortality rates by country, 2024  

Sources: CARE database on road crashes; population data from Eurostat (online data code demo_pjan). 

In 2024, the number of fatalities decreased by 33% compared to 20192. Therefore, Lithuania is 
well on track to meet the 2030 target of halving the number of fatalities. Also, the fatality 
rate per million inhabitants in 2024 (43) is about 14% lower than the target value for this year 
(50). Based on these data, Lithuania appears to be well on track to meet the interim target 
of 45 fatalities per million inhabitants in 2025. 

Based on the latest available data, the number of serious injuries shows an increasing trend 
since 2018. In 2023, serious injuries increased by 59% compared to 2019. Thus, Lithuania is 
not yet on track towards achieving the target of halving the number of serious injuries by 
2030. In addition, Lithuania may not meet the interim target of reducing serious injuries by 
25% in 2025.  

2 For all Member States, 2019 has been used as the baseline year for the monitoring of 2030 targets in this report, 
which is used at EU level. Lithuania has set 2020 as the baseline year. Considering the national baseline, in 2024, 
the observed number of fatalities was 14% lower than the target value and in 2023, the number of serious injuries 
was 53% higher (170 serious injuries) than the target value.

Compared  to  the  EU  average,  the  distribution  of  fatalities  in  Lithuania  showed  a  high 
proportion of car occupants and fatalities occurred on roads outside urban areas3. In fact, 49% 
of killed people in road crashes were car occupants in 2023 and 64% of road crash fatalities 
occurred outside urban areas, on non-motorway roads.  
An overview of the evolution of road fatalities and serious injuries for the years 2019 and 2023 
(year with the latest available detailed crash data) is provided below for specific types of roads, 
crashes  and  road  users.  Overall,  in  Lithuania,  serious  injuries  increased  for  all  groups

examined, except on motorways. The increase in seriously injured people riding a bicycle and 
in  single  vehicle  crashes  was  considerably  higher  than  the  increase  in  the  total  number  of 
serious injuries. 

On the other hand, the total number of fatalities decreased in 2023. The number of fatalities 
inside urban areas and pedestrian fatalities decreased by 47% and 42% respectively. Increases 
in road fatalities outside urban areas, on non-motorway roads, and among cyclists were also 
observed in 2023 compared to 2019.

4. Monitoring Road Safety Strategy Implementation 

4.1 Implementation Progress 

Road Safety Management 

Lithuania  starts  from  a  medium  level  in  all  road  safety  areas  related  to  Road  Safety 
Management, except for road safety legislation, the baseline of which is assessed as high. The 
implementation of all measures related to this pillar has been completed, while the measures 
related to road safety legislation are on track. 

Concerning road safety legislation, new versions of the documents "Guidelines for the design

and use of engineering road safety measures" and "Rules for fencing and traffic regulation of 
road workplaces" are currently being drafted, with a view to be adopted soon. A memorandum 
"Vision Zero" was signed in 2024.

In relation to the pillar of Safe Road User Behaviour, Lithuania starts from a medium level in 
2021 in all road safety areas, except the areas of VRUs and professional drivers. The baseline 
of these two areas is assessed as high. All measures under this pillar are on track, while the 
implementation of the measures on professional drivers has been completed.  

In Lithuania, police officers are regularly carrying out various control measures (drivers' use 
of mobile phones, pedestrian behaviour, etc.). Also, children are taught safe participation in 
traffic in kindergartens and schools, and various advertisements are used to raise awareness 
among adults. Various campaigns on social networks, media, and events are carried out as well.

Regarding the Safe Speeds pillar, based on the self-reported assessment, Lithuania starts from 
a high level in the areas of enforcement and campaigns and from a medium level in the areas 
of update of speed limits and monitoring of speeding. In 2024, all measures of this pillar are 
on track.

More specifically, in some city centres in Lithuania, the speed of electric microcars is limited 
to 15-20 km/h. Additionally, currently, there are 212 fixed speed cameras on state highways, 
of  which  78  are  instantaneous  speed  cameras  and  134  are  cameras,  which  monitor  average 
speeds over a specific section of a road. Promotion of safe speeds through media are ongoing.  

Safe Roads 

Regarding the Safe Roads pillar, the baseline is assessed as high  for all  areas,  except  rural 
roads  safety  interventions  and  motorways  safety  management.  The  implementation  of 
measures on city mobility & safety plans has been completed, while all remaining measures 
are on track.

More specifically, at the end of 2023, there were 1,775 km of cycle paths in Lithuania. Rural 
roads are inspected every 5 years, while motorway safety inspections are carried out every 3 
years.  Furthermore,  a  new  version  of  the  document  "Guidelines  for  the  Design  and  Use  of 
Engineering Road Safety Measures" is currently under preparation. Finally, road safety audits 
are carried out on all roads and streets that are being designed, constructed or already in use for 
public traffic. All auditors must be certified and are supervised by the Transport Competence 
Agency. 

Safe Vehicles 

In relation to the pillar of Safe Vehicles, Lithuania starts from a medium level in the areas of 
fleet renewal and automation preparation, from a high level in technical vehicle inspections 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and from a low level in promotion of ADAS. The implementation of the measures on vehicle 
technical  inspections  and  automation  preparation  has  been  completed,  while  all  remaining 
measures are on track.  

Concerning the fleet renewal, public transport vehicles have been upgraded in order to be more 
environmentally friendly and adapted for persons with special needs. Currently, there are no 
measures for the promotion of ADAS.

Several best practices are available for Lithuania. 

Safe Speeds 

•  Rental  electric  scooters  automatically  prevent  speeding  when  entering  a  speed  limit 

zone. 

•  According to statistical data, in 106 sections without speed cameras, from 2016 to 2020, 
879 road users were injured and 82 killed in crashes. This averages to 176 injuries and 
16  deaths  per  year.  The  situation  changed  drastically  after  the  installation  of  speed 
cameras. In the same sections during 2022-2023, 189 road users were injured and 13 
were killed. Thus, with the installation of speed cameras, road safety improved more 
than twofold.

Safe Roads 

•  The Sustainable Mobility Plan of Vilnius municipality has been published. 
• 
In 5 years, the length of cycle paths in Lithuania increased by 32%. 
•  Speed cameras were installed on the country's main motorway by 2023. 

5. Conclusions and Recommendations 

In the Road Safety Strategy of Lithuania for 2021-2030, targets of halving the numbers of 
road fatalities and serious injuries by 2030 compared to 2020 have been set. A total of 42 
measures grouped into five pillars are included in the Memorandum "On the Implementation 
of the Road Safety Program 'Vision Zero'". 

In 2024, Lithuania was 13th out of the 27 EU countries in terms of the lowest numbers of 
fatalities per million inhabitants. Compared to the EU average, the distribution of fatalities 
in Lithuania shows a high proportion of car occupants and fatalities on roads outside urban 
areas. Based on preliminary data, between 2019 and 2024, the number of fatalities decreased 
by 33%, while the number of serious injuries increased by 59% over the period 2019-2023. 
Overall, in Lithuania, serious injuries increased for all groups examined, except on motorways. 
Increases were recorded only in road fatalities outside urban areas, on non-motorway roads, 
and among cyclists.  

Regarding the progress of the implementation of the road safety actions foreseen in the Road 
Safety  Strategy for the period 2021-2024, there is  a  smooth implementation flow without 
any  particular  gaps  being  reported.  Based  on 
the 
implementation  of  the  measures  in  seven  road  safety  areas  has  been  completed,  while  all 
remaining measures are on track. 

the  self-reported  assessment, 

The  implementation  progress  of  the  foreseen  actions  appears  to  be  well  on  track,  which  is 
reflected in the road safety performance in terms of fatalities, with Lithuania being well on 
track to reach the 2030 target. On the other hand, the upward trend in the number of serious 
injuries  in  Lithuania  makes  it  necessary  to  take  measures  and  explore  any  other  relevant 
activities, with a focus on crashes inside urban areas and vulnerable road users.
