Lietuvos valstybinės automobilių inspekcijos teisinis statusas ir raida (1944–1990)
Legal Status and Development of Lithuania’s State Road Transport Department (1944–1990)

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article, discussing the legal status of Lithuania’s State Road Transport Department, argues that in the period of the second Soviet occupation this institution was greatly dependant on the State Road Transport Department of the Soviet Union. The author also investigates the following issues: the foundation of this institution, its functions and activities as well as the problems of transport system, traffic safety and its maintenance. Emphasis is laid on the fact that the Department was not the only institution responsible for the maintenance of traffic security. A number of ministries as well as state and public organisations became actively involved in this activity in the ninth decade of the 20th century. As a result, there appeared notable changes in public attitudes towards traffic safety and corresponding requirements.
