General Rules
Traffic in Poland moves on the right-hand side. Headlights are mandatory at all times regardless of time of day or year when driving in city streets. Seat belts are obligatory for both front and rear passengers everywhere. Mobile phone usage while driving is only permitted with a hands-free car kit; holding a phone while driving is strictly forbidden.
Mandatory Car Equipment
Every car must carry a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle. Failure to have these items may result in a fine.
Children in Cars
Children under 1.5 metres in height cannot travel as a front or rear passenger unless they are using a suitable restraint system.
Drink Driving
Poland has strict drink driving laws with a legal limit of 0.2 milligrams of alcohol per millilitre of blood (0.02%). Drivers found above 0.02% will receive a fine. Significantly above this level, a fine and/or suspension of driving license will be imposed. Above 0.05%, a prison sentence is very likely.
Speed Limits
Speed limits are enforced rigorously with frequent radar traps and heavy on-the-spot fines. The limit on a highway is 140 kph, on a dual carriageway is 120 kph, on an expressway single carriageway or non-expressway dual carriageway is 100 kph, in non-urban areas is 90 kph, and in urban areas is 50 kph.
Driving license
A foreign or international driving license is valid in Poland for six months after the initial border-crossing. After that period, the driver must pass a state exam which is conducted in Polish.
Pedestrian rules
Rollerbladers are subject to pedestrian regulations and not cyclist regulations. Pedestrians must use the pavement or pedestrian road where available; if unavailable, they should walk as close to the edge of the road as possible and give way to oncoming vehicles. Pedestrians walking along the road must walk on the left side. Walking formation is generally single file, though two pedestrians may walk side by side on roads with little traffic and good visibility. Bicycle roads may only be used by pedestrians if no pavement or roadside exists or they cannot be used, and pedestrians must give way to cyclists except for disabled persons. After dusk outside built-up areas, pedestrians moving on the road are required to wear reflective elements visible to other road users. In pedestrian zones, pedestrians use the full width of the road and have priority over vehicles. Pedestrians and rollerbladers are the least protected road users and are advised to use pads, helmets, and reflectors when inline skating.
Car parking and stopping
Cars may be parked in marked parking areas, car parks in residential districts, and municipal attended or unattended car parks marked with special signs. In most cities, payable parking zones operate on business days Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:00 or 08:00 and 20:00, with hours varying by city. Parking fees can be paid at parking meters or online, and the receipt must be placed visibly behind the front windscreen. Note that parking wardens are not permitted to collect parking fees. Stopping is forbidden in areas designated for disabled persons, areas marked by an envelope sign, and close to gates of properties or garages.
