Does the express road begin in 1000 metres from this sign?

In the photo on the right there is a blue sign D-7 "expressway" with the figure of a car, and under it a plate "1000 m". Plate T-1a under this sign gives the distance to the start of the expressway - it will begin in 1000 metres. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that plate T-1a placed under sign D-7, D-8, D-9, D-10, D-13, D-13a or D-14 shows the distance to the beginning or end of a road or lane. D-7 itself means the beginning or continuation of an expressway. So you have a kilometre to prepare for driving at a higher speed and to plan your lane; remember that an expressway is only for motor vehicles - bicycles, mopeds, agricultural tractors and quadricycles cannot use it.

Legal basis: § 48 para. 1 and § 50 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
