Travelling by car can be very dangerous and arduous due to the very poor quality of roads and the way they are signed and further also due to the number of cars in Poland. Generally Polish drivers like to exceed speed limits and policemen like to give tickets.

The speed limit in Warsaw is now 50km/hr. In other urban areas the limit is 60km/hr, outside urban areas 90km/hr, dual carriageways 110km/hr and motorways 130km/hr. Petrol stations are opened 24 hours and have small grocery stores inside.
Foreigners can drive on their national licenses for six months from the entry date on their passport

Coach transport
The largest coach station, both for domestic and international destinations, is the Western Warsaw Coach Station (Dworzec PKS Warszawa Zachodnia), 144 Jerozolimskie Street. The concourse has tourist and coach information offices. Another coach station, for eastbound destinations, both domestic and international (Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia - Kaliningrad), is the Warsaw Stadion Station (Warszawa Stadion), Zieleniecka Street.
Polish Express (Polski Express) coaches (domestic lines) depart from the coach stop a Jana Pawła II Street, between the Central Station and the Holiday Inn Hotel, and from Okęcie Airport.
Tickets for domestic destinations can be bought at the ticket offices of Western Warsaw Station and Warsaw Stadion Station
