Yes, I agree. Even I, a dutchman, don't think it is very hilly. There are a few small hills, but it is not as hilly as on the picture in "guess the highway".

Furthermore, I have a question about Polish construction works. What highway sections will be finished this year (according to schedule)?
I heard that the A4 Jedrzychowice -Krzyzowa section will be finished, but what more?
And did they already start with repaving the A18?

Very necessary to repave thishighway

Why would it be substandard? Or the entrance ramp is substandard? Cause the exit ramp seems just fine to me.

Exit lane is narrower than a car. And there's almost no entrance lane. But opposite carriageway is much worse.
Take a look.

Of course A4 (west section) will be also finished in 2008.

Isn't it a typical 1940s Autobahn junction, which hasn't been much modified since ?

Right. This road was opened to traffic in 1937 nad reconstructed in 1996-1998 (km 3+827 to km 9+355) and 1997-1999 (km 9+355 to km 12+645). Exit is at km 9+185;

-------------------

Who said there's no traffic on polish motorways ?

Polish roads are pretty congested. That's why we need more motorways and less one lane roads that they like to call "highways." Every year there are more and more cars and the same roads.

Yes, that's true. Last year it took me an hour to get through Nowy Targ. The Zakopianska (S7) should really be finished soon, although I'm not sure if it was planned near Nowy Targ.

Who said there's no traffic on polish motorways ?

Where is it located ? I thought there are no more any sections with old german concrete... Or is it somewhere on DK18, not repaved part ?

No, I don't think so. The A18 is much worse and has clearly visible concrete slabs. Since pmaciej lives in Szczecin, I think it is the A6 or something (nice one for "Guess the highway"!)

This is last concrete part of S3 near Szczecin - between interchanges Kijewo (A6/S3/DK10) and Rzęśnica (S3/DW142).

Section marked with two blue dots, will be reconsructed in close future. Black dot means place, where the picture was shot.



Here you can find more photos of this section.

Now it is signed as S3, but after reconstruction and upgrade to motorway standard, it will be signed as A6.

And here you can find more photos by other users.

Yes it is near Sczecin, but it's not A6, but S3/S6

EDIT: As Maciek said

Do I understand well that:
- there are some highway streches built during WWII in Poland
- they're still in service and have not been repaved yet
??
