    Liebe Italiener, Griechen und andere europäische Bürger. Wenn Sie wirklich komplizierte Geschwindigkeitsregeln wünschen, besuchen Sie Polen. Viel Glück.

      Wow indeed. 90 on Wednesdays unless you are wearing jeans and it is raining, then it’s 87 unless it’s not raining and then it’s 89…

      Eh, I still think that Lithuania’s speed rules are more difficult than Poland’s. We have an entire section dedicated to new drivers (green leaves) with less than 2 years of experience and they have a different set of different rules as well.

      Edit: here’s a translated image of [simplified speed rules](https://imgur.com/a/a6vjeN4). And yes, we do have different speed limits during winter.

      There’s one of these on the border bridge in Wasserbillig between Luxembourg and Germany – As an Irish guy, seeing that the first time, I thought to myself “That sign could give a paracetamol a headache” xD

      We … just have speed signs. No default speed.

      No need to inform drivers when entering the country. Just read the number on the sign you’re passing.

    9. szumfalweterze on

      I think I have never seen a truck going 80 on a highway in Poland. The limits on the right side are like virtual

    10. ZealousidealLeg5052 on

      As a Polish person, I don’t see anything complicated about it.

    11. kiddo_ho0pz on

      So outside of the city, for a car, is it 90kmph or 100kmph if you’re on a one lane expressway?

    12. Jobewan1 on

      France here, we have all this and different speeds according to the weather and young drivers.

    13. petersaints on

      This sign has information for both cars and trucks, that’s why it gets more complicated than the one from Italy.

    14. BackgroundMean2078 on

      It’s pretty normal speed rules, nothing complicated. If you want a real challenge come to Lithuania, we have way more complicated speed rules.

      I like it, wish we would copy it all over europe. 140+margin really is the sweetspot for highways

    18. DanzakFromEurope on

      Honestly most speed limits are pretty similar through out the EU. Most countries have different speeds for motorways and highways. And different speeds for roads with a barrier between directions and without.

    20. WEZANGO on

      Have you ever been in Ireland? It can be 50 on a dual carriageway and 80 on a two way country road that is 2 meters wide.

    22. boob_blaster on

      As pole, raised in Sweden and have driven acros a few countries I think polish speed limits are a hell.

      In sweden when allowed of speed changes you have a sign with the speed limit, in Poland you either have the left images, new speed limit or none(!). I have had a few arguments with the police(and won) and my wife(she usually as confused as me) about when the speed limitation ends.

      The GPS and the sign reader in the car gets it right usually but fails after a speed limit ends, then it takes a while for it to catch up and god forbid if you drive 70 on a 90 road in Poland, people will try to ram you from behind…

    24. lordMaroza on

      Not really complicated. It makes sense. Add to that list new drivers with a 2-year probation – all limits minus 10%, no driving between 23:00 and 06:00, and add general winter rules with lower speeds.

      Still won’t be complicated.

    25. IDontEatDill on

      I bet Italians and Greek are wondering wtf are these so called “rules” in the first place. Aren’t you supposed to just honk the horn and accelerate?

    27. shuozhe on

      To be fair, you should check this before entering Poland?

      What does the orange truck symbol mean?

    28. Recent-Excitement234 on

      Not so bad….does somebody care about speed limits in Poland?

    29. Siebje on

      In the Netherlands, the speed limit on the highway is 100 between 6am and 7pm, after that it’s 130 in many places (but not all).

    31. Tusan1222 on

      Apparently you can drive 149 on autostrada because the polish police only enforces 10km/h over limit

    32. FotisAronis on

      If you’ve ever driven in Greece you’d know we don’t adhere to the rules regardless. Have you not seen our mortality rates?

    36. JG134 on

      In the Netherlands the speed limits on the highway can also vary depending on the time of the day.

    37. -SQB- on

      Welcome to The Netherlands, where the maximum speeds on our highways depend on the time of day.

      The upside is that they’re announced everywhere, there are signs after each merge.
      The donwside is that they can change anywhere too: this stretch is 100km/h always; this stretch is 100km/h by day, but there’s no maximum by night posted, so it defaults to 130km/h; this stretch is 100km/h by day but 120km/h by night, like those 10km/h are going to make a difference.

      Except if you’re pulling a trailer, then it’s a 90km/h maximum, unless you’re over 3500kg, then it’s 80km/h. And if you’re a bus, a truck, or a heavy camper, then it’s 80km/h, unless you’re a T-100 bus, then you’re allowed to do 100km/h.

    39. Operator_Hoodie on

      Let me break it down for you.
      Cars, motorcycles and lorries with a loaded weight of less than or equal to 3500kg can do 50km/h in built up areas, 90 on single-lane roads in non-built up areas, 100 on dual-lane non-built up roads AND on one lane express roads, 120 on dual lane express roads, and 140 on motorways.

      Cars towing trailers, buses (vehicles with >9 seats), lorries with a loaded weight of more than 3500kg or lorries hauling dangerous goods can do 50 in built up areas, 70 on single lane non built up roads, and 80 on all other roads.

    40. pr1ncezzBea on

      On the contrary, it’s very logical. I like it a lot (also the 140 km/h limit is very reasonable).

    41. SotoKuniHito on

      Moral of the story is to look this shit up before leaving your home country because a quick glance won’t be enough.

    42. stonkysdotcom on

      Looks straight forward to me and seem to conform to the EU standard. Very informative board as well.

    43. TeaMonarchy on

      In most countries the Speed limit laws are pretty comprehensive, not necessarily complicated. However I find that specifically Poland displays all the speed limits for all types of vehicles on this sign, whereas the rest of the countries seem to be displaying speed limits for passenger cars only.

      I imagine the Polish sign is very useful for truck drivers, for example.

    44. Kitchen_Lawyer6041 on

      It shouldn’t be complicated for anyone that has got it’s driver’s license in a EU country.
      Might seem complicated for US citizens.A driver’s license is way easier to get in the USA.
