WELCOME TO POLAND 1 FREE COPY
Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Poland a country famous for the hospitality and cordiality of its people, delicious cuisine and beautiful colours during all seasons of the year. The positive changes that have taken place in recent years are bound to make your stay in Poland even more eventful. This short guidebook contains basic information essencial for each tourist that will make travelling in Poland, a new member of the EU easier. The safety of our guests is our particular concern, that is why you will find some practical advice on how to travel on our roads in this booklet. Poland is a country where automobile travel has developed rapidly and our road infrastructure and our behaviour as road users have not always caught up with it. That is why we always strongly encourage extra care on the roads, and particularly in areas of limited visibility and heavy pedestrian traffic. Nevertheless, we are convinced that in most cases you are going to encounter friendliness and help on the part of our people as hospitality is one of main national characteristics. We wish you a wonderful stay in Poland, with plenty of memorable moments. We are convinced that they will make you fond of our country and want to return here again. Prof. Ryszard Krystek Undersecretary of State in The Ministry of Infrastructure 2

Poland is not free from ignorant drivers who do not obey traffic regulations. Some drivers just cannot overcome their inclination to speeding. Keep cool when you suddenly see a car overtaking dangerously next to you with a furiuos driver inside. It might happen that a driver forgets to turn on the indicator before turning or he does it only after starting the maneuvre. Do not get irritated when on a multi-lane road a slower car is obstructing the left-hand side lane intending to turn left. After dusk, watch out for cyclists riding along the edge of the road or its shoulder. They happen to forget to equip their bikes with proper lighting. Watch out for agricultural machinery and tractors emerging from the side roads. During harvest time, in July and August, the roads are used by combine harvesters and tractors carring crops what often results in obstructing the traffic. After dusk always choose marked and properly lit car park. Never leave any valuable objects (camera, radio, documents or money) exposed to the public view in your car when you park in unguarded car parks. Watch out! Very often foggy patches spread onto quite large areas in the Polish plains especially early in the morning and at dusk. 22
Black Spots places extremely dangerous where many accidents and collisions occurred. Seeing such signs the driver should slow down and be particularly alert. 23
