The current fine for driving on a busway is PLN 300 and comes with 6 penalty points. This is a hefty financial penalty, which can have a significant impact on the budget drivers and the status of his points account.

Permitted situations

Turning right

Drivers can legally enter the busway to turn right, but only for up to 100 metres before the junction.

Avoiding obstacles

Entering the busway is permitted when it is necessary to avoid an obstacle on the carriageway, provided special care is taken.

Approval marking

Some bus lanes have additional signage that allows other categories of vehicles to pass during certain times or conditions.

Practical tips

Before entering a bus lane, always note on road signs. Some bus lanes only operate at certain times, usually during peak traffic.
