Lane Discipline Road Position
- 1/20When you drive on a multi-lane road
Polish traffic law requires default use of the right lane except when passing or preparing to turn.
If you intend to overtake
Overtaking should be done swiftly and only when it is safe, returning to the right lane afterward.
When you drive on a motorway
Right lane is for cruising; left lanes are for overtaking. Stay right when not passing.
When you make a right turn
Proper positioning avoids confusion and ensures a smooth turn.
When preparing for a left turn at an intersection
Proper lane positioning is essential for a legal and safe turn.
If you miss your exit on a highway
Reversing or stopping on highways is strictly forbidden and dangerous.
When you approach a roundabout
Right lane is for first exits; left or center lanes for continuing or turning left.
If road markings indicate a bus lane
Unauthorized use of bus lanes is punishable unless signs allow it for specific hours or vehicle types.
When you drive through a tunnel
Tunnel driving requires lane discipline to ensure smooth, predictable flow and prevent accidents.
When overtaking on a two-way road
Only move into the opposite lane when it is safe, and return quickly.
If you approach a lane closure
Drivers should alternate one-by-one at the merge point to ensure efficient traffic flow.
When driving near tram tracks in shared lanes
Trams usually have priority; stay off tracks unless required to cross.
When traffic arrows direct you to a specific lane
Arrow markings indicate permitted directions and turning requirements.
When entering a one-way street
Use the left lane to turn left and the right lane to turn right.
When the road narrows ahead
Lane reduction requires smooth merging with awareness of surrounding traffic.
If a cycle lane runs alongside your path
Cyclists must be protected; crossing only when turning is permitted.
When approaching pedestrian islands or obstructions
Maintain lane discipline around fixed road features like islands, bollards, or center dividers.
If you drive through construction zones
Lane rules may be altered in work zones; always follow signs and barriers.
When approaching reversible lanes with overhead arrows
Arrows show active direction; never use a lane marked with a red “X” overhead.
When you see broken white lane lines
Broken lines permit lane changes; always check mirrors and blind spots before doing so.
