New traffic organization in the Poznań Zachód interchange

Attention drivers – a new mandatory traffic organization has been implemented at the Poznań West interchange. The modifications mainly concern vehicles entering A2 from S11 and S5 in the Poznań direction. A lane change is prohibited for vehicles driving from S11 in the direction of Poznań and the speed is limited to 90 km / h on the two-lane ramp lane.

The new traffic organization aims to take care of the divers’ safety and ensure driving comfort. Autostrada Wielkopolska faces the issue of road safety with the utmost attention. The situation on the motorway is analyzed in detail, including the sections carrying increased traffic volume, such as the interchanges connecting the motorway with the S11 or S5 roads.

The data collected by the Company showed an increased number of collisions in the southern part of the Poznań Zachód interchange, at the junction of the ramp lanes leading from the S11 road from Piła and the S5 road from Wrocław. Upon scrutinizing traffic flows and the causes of collisions, Autostrada Wielkopolska first developed a concept, and then a replacement design of a permanent traffic organization. The changes have been implemented upon the approval of the documentation by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.

The basic modification consists in introducing a ban on changing the lane to the right one for vehicles entering the motorway from the S11 road, as indicated by appropriate road markings and vertical signs. At the same time, additional speed limits of 90 km / h have been introduced on the two-lane ramp lane in the direction of Poznań and above the exit lane on the northern road. Also, additional symbols for A2, S5 and S11 roads have been placed to enable drivers to take the appropriate lanes early enough.
