Coming to Warsaw by road?
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 >>>
