Driving Tips for Poland
Driving in Poland is a rewarding way to explore the country’s picturesque countryside and vibrant urban centres. Keep these tips in mind to ensure a hassle-free experience:
- Drive on the right side of the road: Vehicles in Poland drive on the right, and overtaking is allowed only on the left.
- Observe speed limits: The limits are 140 km/h on motorways, 100-120 km/h on expressways, 90 km/h on main roads, and 50-60 km/h in urban areas.

- Use dipped headlights year-round: Polish law requires dipped headlights to be on at all times, even during daylight hours.
- Winter driving: Snow and icy roads are common in winter. Ensure your vehicle has the required winter tyres and drive cautiously.
