Speed limits in Poland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polish speed limits

Speed limits in Poland vary depending on the type of road and the type and weight of the vehicle:[1]

Built-up areas Residential areas Motorways Expressways (dual carriageway) Expressways (single carriageway)
Other roads (dual carriageway)
Other roads
Cars and motorcycles 50 20 140[2] 120 100 90
Heavy goods vehicles (> 3.5 t) 80[2] 80 80 70
Buses 80 (100 with a special permit). 80 80 70
Cars and vans with trailers 80 80 80 70

The limits shown above apply unless otherwise stated, as road signs may prescribe a lower or a higher speed limit (e.g. limits of 70 km/h or (occasionally) higher can be found on urban dual carriageways).

A higher night speed limit (60 km/h) used to apply in urban areas from 23:00 to 5:00 until 1 June 2021.[3]
