The Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (7570 GDDKiA) is planning to invest some US$1.06 billion in the construction of a national traffic management system (KSZR).

The system will be equipped cameras and sensors to provide road users with traffic data on travel times, congestion or accidents via the internet, smartphones and social networking.

The first stage of the project is expected to cost over US$264 million and will provide drivers with information available parking spaces, accidents, etc.

GDDKiA plans to apply for funding from the EU's CEF Connecting Europe budget within the TEN-T framework and hopes to be ready to go out to tender by the end of 2015.

It is also proved to be a very fast implementer. Speaking at the 2014 I
