Polish Bilingual Signs

Rarely, bilingual signs in Polish can be seen in a small area southeast of Lithuania.

Lithuanian Street Word

This word is almost entirely unique to Lithuanian. Very rarely, it may appear as “gatve” abbreviated as “gat.” in Riga, Latvia.

Baltic Language Family

Lithuanian belongs to the Baltic languages. Its closest related major branch member is Latvian.

Y in Lithuanian

The letter Y is used in Lithuanian. It also appears in Estonian, but only in loan words.

Road Marking Colors

Road lines use yellow on the outside and white on the inside.

Lithuanian Architecture

Lithuanian architecture often features light-coloured brick buildings with somewhat steep corrugated metal roofs. Wooden buildings are also fairly common, and pastel-painted stone buildings appear especially in newer suburbs.

Curonian Spit Houses

The Curonian Spit has wooden houses that are often red and have a Scandinavian look.

More Open Landscape

Lithuania has less forest cover than the other two Baltic countries, so the landscape can appear more open and agricultural. Use this as a general vegetation cue with caution.

Lithuanian Square Suffixes

Street suffixes such as Aikštė, a., Skveras, and skv indicate a square or plaza. These forms can help identify Lithuania.

Takas Street Suffix

Takas means “way” or “path” as a street suffix. Use it as a clue for Lithuania.

Forest and Windswept Pines

Roads are often surrounded by forest with many Baltic pines. Slightly windswept trees may also be visible.

Avenue Street Suffixes

Street names may use Alėja, al., or Prospektas to indicate an avenue. These suffixes point to avenue-style roads.

Street Suffix Clue

Parkas means park in street names. Use it as a vegetation-related place-name clue.

Curonian Spit Road

The Curonian Spit is a long, thin sand-dune spit south of Klaipeda. It separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea, and road 167 on the spit has a recognizable mix of landscape and road direction.

Lithuanian signs have a relatively thin red border, with a thin white outline around it.

Baltic Sign Borders

Warning and speed signs in Lithuania have a border style that differs slightly from the other Baltic countries. The border design can help distinguish the country’s road signs.
