List of motorways and expressways in Poland
This list of motorways and expressways in Poland gives an overview of the high-level road network in Poland . There are currently around 1700 km of motorways ( Polish : Autostrady , Singular Autostrada ) and expressways (Polish: Drogi ekspresowe , Singular: Droga ekspresowa ) of the same order of magnitude. The planned network of highways and expressways should have a total length of approx. 8000 km.
The central authority GDDKiA is responsible for the administration and construction of the Polish motorways and expressways as well as the national roads on behalf of the Polish government .
Highways
The most important and longest motorway connections are the west-east connections A2 and A4 and the north-south connection A1 . In addition to these motorways, there are three motorway sections, which are designated as A6 , A8 and A18 .
The planned motorway network is around 2000 kilometers. The basic network has been completed with the exception of a few projects under construction or planned. Thanks to EU aid and the European Football Championship in 2012 , the implementation of important connections in the trunk road network, the planning of which had already started in the 1970s and 1980s, could be accelerated and completed between 2007 and 2013. The number of completed and approved kilometers of motorway increased continuously during this period. The 1000 kilometer mark was exceeded with the opening of the 106 km section of the A2 motorway from Słubice on the German border to Nowy Tomyśl on December 1, 2011. The completion of the A1 at Łódź and from Częstochowa to Pyrzowice and the last section of the A4 is currently planned for the period from 2014 to 2020 .
The maximum speed on Polish motorways has been 140 km / h since January 1, 2011.

Expressways
The network of expressways currently has a length of approx. 1,650 kilometers and around 900 kilometers are under construction. The planned expressway network is approx. 5900 kilometers and consists of 21 connections, of which the S7 will be the longest expressway with approx. 710 km. All expressways except for the short S22 , S79 and S86 routes are currently under construction or in planning.
As early as 1985, the plans for the realization of an expressway network were started. In the course of the European Football Championship in 2012, the construction of some routes was accelerated, but others were postponed due to financial difficulties and the focus on completing the motorway network. As a result, there are still many gaps in the expressway network, such as between Bydgoszcz , Poznan and Wroclaw and between Gdansk , Warsaw and Krakow . According to current plans, these gaps are to be partially filled in the period from 2014 to 2023. Furthermore, bypasses are to be implemented in the course of expressways and regional roads .
The maximum speed on Polish dual carriageways has been 120 km / h since January 1, 2011.

toll
In Poland, a route-dependent toll has to be paid on selected road sections for motor vehicles. A distinction must be made between the operator, the state-owned GDDKiA and the three concessionaires , Gdańsk Transport Company , Autostrada Wielkopolska and Stalexport Autostrada Małopolska , as different toll systems are used.
For the road sections operated by the GDDKiA , an electronic route toll system known as viaTOLL has been introduced since July 1, 2011 , which applies to all vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of more than 3.5 tons (including trucks ) and has replaced the vignette toll. In the case of vehicles with a trailer, the permissible total weight of the towing vehicle is not used as the basis for assessment, but the permissible total towing weight. On June 1, 2012, this system was also introduced for motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of less than or equal to 3.5 tonnes (including passenger cars ). However, manual tolling at toll stations is still possible for these vehicles .
A route toll applies on the motorway sections operated by the concessionaires and must be paid manually at the toll stations.
Motorway junction
In Poland , as in Austria , no distinction is made between motorway junctions , motorway triangles and motorway bifurcations. These points of intersection between several motorways or expressways with national roads are called motorway junctions (Polish: Węzły autostradowe ; singular Węzeł autostradowy ). Motorway junctions are called road junctions (Polish: Węzły drogowe ; singular Węzeł drogowy ).
