Paid roads in Poland are approximately half the length of all highways. Given that the total length of Polish roads is more than 3100 km, the fee is charged for use of about 1,500 km. Consider all the nuances associated with paying roads.

Poland - Bridge between the CIS and Western Europe

The geographical location of Poland contributes to the fact that this country is a binding corridor between the CIS countries and Western Europe. On Polish roads moves a huge number of passenger and cargo transport, running from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus to countries Western Europe and back. Our fellow citizens go to European countries to work, on holiday, study. We can say that Poland is a kind of bridge connecting Russia, Belarus and Ukraine with the rest of Europe.

Today for Russian motorists, in connection with complex relations between Russia and Ukraine, Poland is the only corridor to Europe, when driving there should be no problem. Huge cargo traffic from Asia to Europe is also moving through the Republic of Poland. From the Baltic States to European countries can also be found on Polish autobans.

For many of our compatriots, the first time traveling to Europe, the present discovery is the excellent quality of most Polish roads. The difference in the quality of the road surface is felt immediately after the border crossing. For repair and maintenance of highways in Poland, funds do not regret. In addition, the construction of new roads the government of the country is going to allocate more than 26 billion zlotys. Partially these costs are covered as a result of payment for movement by paid roads. Below your attention is presented map of Poland roads. The letter A is indicated by the motorway.

What areas do you need to pay?

At the moment, Polish roads are divided into paid and free. However, in the future, all the highways of this country should become paid. The amount of payment for travel on some autobahn depends on the category of vehicle, as well as from the distance traveled. Thus, paid roads for passenger cars weighing less than 3.5 tons are highways A1, A2 and A4 (and not all of their sites, but only the most loaded, the road covering is faster than wearing). Paid plots for vehicle Weight more than 3.5 tons are indicated on the following card:

Those roads that are at the construction stage are still free. When they are put into operation, they will have to pay for travel. In the meantime, the fare is charged according to the GDDKIA system. That is, the fare is determined by the Ministry of Infrastructure. Now it is 10 pennies per kilometer for passenger cars and 5 pennies per kilometer for motorcycles.

Additional information: For vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons, which move along paid areas under the control of GDDKIA, the passage of travel is made using the VIATOLL system. To do this, the vehicle must be installed special electronic deviceWith the help of which payment is charged.

There are two ways to pay for the roads in Poland:

  1. In the first case, payment is made in the checkpoints located in the initial and end points of the paid section of the road. In the checkpoint, the payment accepts the operator, which then opens the barrier. You can pay in cash or bank card. (IMPORTANT! Payment of the bank card is accepted if there is an inscription "KARTY KREDITOWE" on the checkpoint. When paying in cash, the delivery is issued in zloty, regardless of which currency you pay). You can pay zloty, euro or dollars.
  2. In the second case, a ticket is issued to the driver at the receipt of the driver at the receipt of the driver. Moreover, this ticket gives an automatic, not the operator. The ticket must be maintained until the end of the passage along the raid area. You need to pay on the departure from this site.

Infrastructure of Polish Roads and the fare for separate parts of the motorways

Paid highways differ in great comfort. On the entire length of these roads there are gas stations (BP, Shell, OMV, ORLEN, etc.), cafes, fast food restaurants (McDonald's, Kfc, Burger King), various shops, recreational areas, European-level hotels, recreation sites (campings, Customer service stations). According to the quality of the road cover, the paid autobahn of Poland is not inferior to Western European.

Consider the cost of driving through highways.

A1 Torun - Gdansk

The length of this route is 152 km. On the entire length of its length there are 10 points of payment. Drivers of passenger cars and motorcycles will have to pay here 30 zł. For passenger cars with a trailer, the fare is 71 zł. You can pay in cash or bank card. Important! When paying in US dollars are accepted only by banknotes with a par value of no more than $ 100.

A2 Strykov - Konin - Poznan - Svetsko

The A2 motorway is divided into two sections: Strykov - Konin and Konin - Svetsko. The length of the first plot is 99 km, the second is 255 km. The fare on the track of Strykov - Koning for motorists is 9.9 zł per kilometer, for motorcyclists - 5 zł / km. When driving on the second plot, car drivers and motorcycle should pay 72 zł.

The fee for a kilometer during the passage along the A2 highway varies. For example, on the area of \u200b\u200bSchepin - the new Tomysl is 2.8 zlotys, on the site, Novy Tomysl - Konin - 5.1 zloty. The plot between Zhelin and Svetsko is free.

A4 Krakow - Katowice - Gliwice - Wroclaw

Autobob A4 also consists of two sites: Krakow - Katowice and Gliwice - Wroclaw. The first length is 62 km, the second is 162 km. When driving from Krakow to Katowice, cars of passenger cars will have to pay 20 zł, motorcyclists - 10 zlotys. The fare on the Gliwice section - Wroclaw for passenger cars is 16.2 zł, for motorcycles - 8.1 zloty.

Note! The fact that there will be a paid plot ahead, the "PoBor Oplat" sign warns.

As you can see, the passage of Polish paid highways should not deliver problems. Motorists who plan to go to Poland can also be recommended to view the following videos:

Here is visual information about paid areas and about payment methods.

Pole Philipp Trush is puzzled by the fact that the fees for Polish highways approach the limit of absurdity. A 300-kilometer trip to Poznan from Warsaw cost a 50 zloty men (about 28 bn). For Poles, Philip believes, it's a lot. So, for a day trip to Poznan and back he had to pay 100 zł.

A man believes that the poor Poles are paying much more than residents of rich European countries.

Gate on the A2 Highway (Autostrada Wielkopolska) alone, because you need to pay. No one will say that 50 zloty for the route Warsaw - Poznan is a normal tariff, "says Philip. - A2 is often called "the most expensive dear in Europe." Fortunately, not all Polish roads are so terrible road. In many of them, rates are adjusted. Although this, of course, is not a consolation for people who often have to travel from the east to the west.

It so happened that a week before the trip to Poznan Philippe traveled to Prague. For a 10-day vignette, which allows you to ride the Czech highway, you have to pay the same amount as for one trip from Warsaw to Poznan. If you buy vignette on the border in Poland, then it will cost 65 Polish zlotys. And if you buy a vignette in the Czech Republic, you can save about 10 zł.

Thus, 300 km in Poland for 50 zł, and the same 50 zlotys for travel on the roads of the Czech Republic for 10 days, writes Moto.PL.

How much do they pay for the roads in Europe?

Less for the motorway pay in Switzerland, one of the richest countries of the world. There are also vignettes, and you can buy a skip for a year. It costs 40 francs or 154 zł.

Autostrada Wielkopolska is a vivid example, but also other roads in Poland expensive. The passage of A1 from Gdansk to Torun costs 30 zł, and the segment of A4 between Katowice and Krakow - 20 zł.

At one time, the decision of Germany to introduce duties for foreign motorists was extremely controversial. An annual fee varies from 67 to 130 euros (depends on the size and "environmental friendliness" of the car). However, there is a 10-day vignette, for which you have to pay from 2.5 to 25 euros. In the worst case, the Polish tourist will pay more than 100 zł in 10 days. Almost as much as he pays from Warsaw to the border (about 90 zł).

High fees, characteristic A2 highways, can be found in France, Spain and Italy.

Why do you need to pay so much for a2?

It would be easy to point to the culprit - AUTOSTRADA WIELKOPOLSKA Operator - AW SA. But we cannot require a private company to engage in charity, and construction and operation speed road Financed from their own pocket, "says Philip.

At the moment, the passage of one kilometer A2 under the control of AW SA costs 38 pennies (Model - New Tomysl) or about 20 pennies (New Tomysl - Svetsko). At A4, the Stalexport operator will take about 34 pennies / km, and on A1 - 20 pennies / km.

For comparison, the cost of GDDKIA managed areas is 10 pennies / km. Where does this difference come from?

Tariffs are determined on the basis of the current concession agreement, many years of financial plan and traffic forecasts. The overall risk associated with traffic and income lies with the licensee. The A2 route is not subsidized by the state, in contrast to public highways, where subsidies from the state budget are more than 60%.

It affects the level of rates and the fact that the fare on private roads is not exempt from 23% VAT. Therefore, fees cannot be compared with rates on public roads, "said AUTOSTRADA WIELKOPOLSKA SA spokeswoman Sofia Kvyatkovskayaexplaining last year the need to introduce new increments on A2.

But Philip believes that from the very beginning the approach should be different. The problem is that too many operators, some roads are managed by individuals, and some are a state. Everyone wants to earn.

Ideally, a vignetting system should operate with prices adjusted for our income. Unfortunately, it takes time.

Recently, the Government of Poland announced that the gate on A2 near Warsaw would close, and the Lodz-Warsaw plot would be free.

According to the concession agreement, AW SA will manage A2 at the area of \u200b\u200bświecko-modła until 2037.

Who should pay for travel on a paid road in Belarus?

Travel on a paid road in Belarus should pay drivers of "cargoes" (weighing up to 3.5 tons), registered outside the territory of the EAEU member states, as well as other transport drivers with a total mass of more than 3.5 tons. And in this - the main difference from the Polish highway A2, where the passage is paid and drivers of Polish cars.

According to the information on the official website of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Belarus, the fare for paid roads depends on the category of vehicle and the distance it will pass.

For passenger cars (with a total weight of up to 3.5 tons inclusive) the amount will be 0.04 euros per kilometer. It is less than the Polish A2, even on the "cheap" section - 20 pennies / km, which is about 0.05 euros.

We decided to go to rest in Poland. So, as from Moscow is not so far away, and see what. We drove from Moscow to Smolensk, and then through Belarus to Poland. We left early in the morning (at 6 o'clock). Already in the evening were in Lublin. Of course, it was possible to spend the night in Belarus, but we wanted so much to Europe, and it was possible to lead in turn. From time to time stopped, drank coffee, so it was not very tired.

Together with you a SIM card. Distributed the Internet to the navigator from the smartphone, very convenient. In Poland, there were no problems in general. The Skype house was binding. And the cost is excellent - 20 GB for 20 euros. In those days, when they did not use the Internet, nothing was written off.

Laws, as in other European countries - strict. That's just drivers the rules follow not always. It is said that Poles are the most aggressive drivers. Here I can argue - they were still not in Moscow. Although the accident in this country is really a lot. Still in Poland often carved cars. He was heard that the roads are dangerous and designed illiterately. In fact, nothing was noticed. I did not come across aggressive drivers, the police never checked the documents, and the roads are very well maintained and the views of them are open.

Toll roads

Poland has paid motorways. They can be driving at a speed of up to 140 km / h. Payment is occurring differently. On some roads give a coupon that you need to pay at the end of the way. On others - payment is accepted manually. During the holidays, almost all Poland broke out.

Payment of travel on paid roads is accepted and bank card. You can pay in the euro and dollars, but still it is better to have zloty with you. If you want to pay in EUR or USD in cash, the bills should not be more than 100. Delivery will be given to PLN.

It was especially pleased that the polish roads are provided for recreation sites, toilets and something even even playgrounds for children. Refills around the clock and more like small towns. Here are restaurants, and hotels, and everything you need to tourist. There are, of course, a small gas station, but everywhere pure and cozy. Paid toilets are extremely rare.

Parkovka

There were no problems with parking in Polish cities. Found a free place and left the car for free right on the street. Of course, there are pedestrian streets and close to tourist mecmets find free space. Here in Warsaw, when they left the car in the center, I had to use the parking lot and pay for zloty and put the receipt for the glass. The fact that places are paid, speak special signs. I do not advise you to leave the car open or leave valuable things in it.

Important phone numbers

On the trip, some telephone numbers may need. Well, of course, if you do not use, but it is better to be aware.

  • Emergency number - 112
  • Police - 997.
  • Ambulance - 999.
  • Firefighters - 998.
  • Russian Embassy (Warsaw) - +48 22 621 34 53.

When drove to Poland, they planned a long trip and possible arrival in Germany and other neighboring countries. Immediately decided that we would not pay mad money in Russian operators. However, it was necessary to stay in touch. We decided to buy a tourist map. Chose carefully and stopped on. The Mundo Max rate allowed us to go online when it is pleased, for 20 euros for 20 GB. Since they traveled with the whole family, an important factor when choosing SIMI was that with Orange you can distribute the Internet.

Traffic Laws

Rules in Poland are similar to traffic rules of other European countries. Pedestrians are advantages, therefore, of course, they should be passed and be attentive. Preferential travel right also for trams and buses starting movement.

Speed \u200b\u200bin cities and villages should be 50 km / h, and beyond their limits - 90 km / h. In roads, the speed is 100 km / h, and on the motorways - 140.

With regard to alcohol, the rules in Poland are somewhat stricter than in many other European countries. There is a norm - up to 0.2 ppm. Above 0.5 in Polish laws - a crime. Rights are deprived, and even fingered for 500 zł. Even after the return of the rights of those who were caught driving drunk, would not leave alone - they will oblige to equip the car "Alcohol Castle". For those who do not know, explain that such a device does not give to the machine, if the driver exhales, the alcohol content is greater than 0.1 mg / dm3.

Middle Light should burn during the day and night. Penalty - 100 zł. The signal is allowed with poor visibility, as it turns on fog lights.

All in the car during movement must be fastened. And do not forget about car seats for children, otherwise they are fined to PLN 100.

With a mobile phone without a handsfree, when the engine is turned on, it is impossible to use (Penalty sanction - PLN 200).

Necessary equipment

Required before traveling to Poland, complete the car with everything you need: fire extinguisher, lamps, a first-reflective vest. You still need to keep in mind that radar detectors and studded tires are prohibited. About winter rubber There are no special guidelines.

Transportation of children

There are rules relating to the transport of children. Kids whose growth below 150 cm should be on rear seat. The machine must be equipped with special retaining systems. Very small (up to 3 years) can not be transported in a car without seat belts, if it is not a taxi.

If the child is above 135 cm, it can be transported from behind without a chair, but you need to pay attention to the correct adjustment of seat belts. If you need to transport three children, then one can be placed in the middle, but if the chair in such a position is not fixed, it should be fastened, which means that the baby should be over three years. Penalty for violations during the transport of children - PLN 150.

Penalties

Police gave receipts to pay the fine in place. If the penalty is not paid immediately, then the case will be transferred to the court. Driver can delay before the proceedings.

To give a concept about fines in Poland, I will give a few examples. For the speed exceeding the fines are depending on the circumstances from 57 to 1520 zł. Moreover, if the driver will develop a speed of more than 50 km / h in the settlement, it will be licensed for 3 months. If the passenger car is larger than 3 people, the rights will also be taken.

There are a number of other fines. Here is some of them:

  • Entry to the dividing strip - 100 zlotys,
  • Wrong overtaking - 250 zlotys,
  • Intersection of solid double - 200 zł,
  • Overtaking in pedestrian crossings and on them - 200 zloty
  • Failure to give a pedestrian on a special transition - 350 zlotys,
  • Parking in place for persons with limited features - 800 zlotys.

Petrol

In Poland, you can refuel the 95th, 98th and diesel engine. There is I. gas refills. You can proclaim up to 20 liters of fuel in the canisters. With fuel prices can be found on the net. We refuel 98th. It cost about 4 zł per liter.

In Poland, more than 1630 km of motorways. Drivers of passenger cars pay for the use of almost half of them. The fee for travel through highways, differ depending on who is managed by them. We present a guide for paid roads in Poland.

Ultimately, all highways in Poland must become paid. So far, at most of them, VIATOLL system (Polish "Plato") works, with which tax pay trucks and buses. Drivers of all other vehicles pay for travel over sections of more than 700 kilometers.

New Polish motorways are free until the construction and commissioning system is completed.

Drivers of passenger cars and motorcycles are free of charge, in particular, in the open sections of the A1 Torun highways in 2016 - Stryków and A4 Dembetz - Rzeszow. Formally, because there remained construction sites, on which work is underway. On A1, it is necessary to build fifteen overpasses, exit roads, service maintenance and knot curtainly east.

To make payment, it is necessary to build parkings, petrol stations, and, of course, payment items, in the near future their construction is not planned. In 2017, an electronic charge of charging duty should be commissioned, which will work on all highways and will be mandatory for all drivers. The gate with the cash desks and barriers will become unnecessary.

All plots under construction, and those who are ready, but not yet charge payments will be covered by the GDDKIA system. For drivers, this means that the cost of the travel will be determined by the Minister of Infrastructure, and the General Directorate will be involved in maintaining and repairing roads. Its representatives promise that the passage will cost as much as on the A2 highway - Konin and A4 Katowice - Wroclaw. At the moment it is 10 pennies per kilometer for passenger cars and 5 pennies per kilometer for motorcycles.

On the Highway A1 Gdansk - Torun (Gdans-Torun) Drivers of cars and motorcyclists pay for a kilometer of 16 kopecks. At A2 from Svetka (Swiecko), where the fee will be charged from Supin (Rzeepin) to New Tomysl (Nowy Tomysl) A bet of 20 pennies per kilometer, on A4 Katowice - Krakow (Katowice-Krakow) - 29 pennies per kilometer. Even more expensive, on the A2 highway, Novy Tomysl - Konin (Nowy tomysl - Konin) drivers pay 34 pennies per kilometer. The A2 motorway was built for private money, and the investor must keep high enough bets to have funds for maintaining roads, repayment of loans, for construction, and make a profit.

On Polish roads there are two charge systems at the start - closed and open. The first works on the routes A1 Gdansk - Torun and A2 Shvetsko - Novy Tomysl. The driver pays for every kilometer traveled at the entrance to all congresses from the track, and at the end. The closed system works on A2 New Tomslin Conn and A4 Katowice - Krakow. Here the payment is made at the start and at the end. The driver must pay for the entire area. On the A4 highway, the fee is made at the checks of a road collector under Katovians and Krakow. The driver pays in half for the fare of this section at its beginning and end.

On the roads managed by GDDKIA cars of passenger cars can pay for travel without stopping. But for this they need to buy the Viaauto device, which works in the VIATOLL system. Such a device is worth a hundred zloty, of which half the amount is money that you can pay for travel fees.

Communicator can be purchased, in particular, at gas stations and in service items, the list of which is available on www.viatoll.pl. Place for the roads later can be made in three ways. The easiest and most popular reminds account replenishment. mobile phone. The driver at the service point indicates the device number and makes a minimum deposit of 50 zł. You can also register a device via the Internet and control your costs and independently replenish your account through the network. There is also the possibility of paying bills for actually walking areas. Then the system operator sends a monthly account driver.
