Infrastructure and traffic regulation updates in Poland

In Głuchołazy, two-way traffic has been restored on National Road 40 (DK40), ending the previous shuttle traffic system on the bridge. The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) reported that the project included laying a wearing course on Sikorskiego Street, constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Andersa and Konopnickiej streets, and building retaining walls and bridge access roads. The investment also increased the road's load capacity to 11.5 tons per axle and added pedestrian and bicycle paths. The full completion of the project is expected by December.

Separately, Polish traffic regulations regarding pedestrian priority emphasize that a driver must yield if their movement forces a pedestrian to stop, slow down, or change their pace. Even if a driver has stopped correctly, moving too early in a way that causes a pedestrian to hesitate or quicken their step can result in a fine, which can reach 1,500 PLN.
