In Poland these roads are not called Autobahn like in Germany. These are called Autostrada. That name comes from Italian (auto = car, strada = road), as Italians were the first to build such a motorway, an Italian A8, which connected Milan to Lake Como. It was the first dual highway in the world and it opened in 1924... Then Germans started building these roads, and then Americans copied Germans (though in a different way). Polish A-class roads are of the same class as Autobahns, and it is possible to drive at extremely high speeds on some sections fairly safe (depending on traffic). Having said that, the national speed limit in Poland is 140 km/h.

In Poland fines for speeding are really low in comparison to our neighbouring countries, that's why everybody drives so fast.

[@sledzwoleju9172]

Just to clarify, the rule for taking away the driving license [getting it banned for 3 months] is 50 km/h above the speed limit in the built-up area. So, this is double in the default situation (50 km/h limit), but if the speed limit on a particular road is 30 or 70, then to get your license banned you would have to go 80 or 120 respectively.

the euronet ATM's have criminally high commisions, even my own bank in special email advised me to not draw any money from those ATM's. Curious how was that for you guys

[@selat99]

They should have withdrawn in PLN, when bank does the conversion to your home country currency, it takes exchange rate that is sometimes 20% worse that you would normally get. And commission of 16PLN on top of it is outrages.

[@Arcadius80]

Well... technically it is ok to overtake on the right on a motorway in Poland (undertake). Very few people do that, but it isn't forbidden by the law (don't try that in Germany - it isn't allowed there).

[@tomektomek6275]

You can quit from the right only: in a built-up area, the road must have at least two lanes designated for driving in the same direction, outside built-up areas, the road must have at least three lanes designated for traveling in the same direction.
