The 'road' metaphor is central to Baltic folklore, often representing the path of life itself. In cities like Vilnius, 'Laimingo kelio' is often followed by 'Saugiai!' (Safely!) due to heavy traffic concerns. For Lithuanians living abroad, this phrase carries a lot of emotional weight when visiting home.
