Even though the Polish road network has improved gigantically over the last 1.5 decade, by Western European standards, Poland has a poorly developed infrastructure of roads (''droga'', plural - ''drogi'') and expressways (''autostrada'', plural - ''autostrady''). The vast majority of roads that form an extensive net covering all of the country are single lane. There are very few main expressways, and some express roads with lower speed limits than motorways but with many of their features.
Except for the few expressways, it is generally accepted to hitchhike on the side of the road in almost any suitable place. Unlike many European states, the police is are generally friendly towards hitchhikers as long as they behave properly. On expressways the best place to hike is either an exit or, preferably, one of the filling stations.
