context_page_description: The autostrada A4 in Poland is a 672 km long east–west motorway that runs through southern Poland, along the north side the Sudetes and Carpathian Mountains, from the Polish-German border at Zgorzelec-Görlitz, through Wrocław, Opole, Gliwice, Katowice, Kraków, Tarnów and Rzeszów, to the Polish-Ukrainian border at Korczowa-Krakovets. It is a part of European route E40.
  The motorway between Wrocław and Kraków was constructed in years 1976 – 2005. Most of this part is tolled, with fees being collected in toll booths across the motorway.
  The section from the German border to Wrocław was constructed in years 2002 – 2009, in large part as a repavement of the old concrete motorway constructed in years 1933 – 1937. The repaved parts are substandard due to lack of emergency lanes and the speed limit is decreased to 110 km/h.
  The motorway from Kraków to the Ukrainian border was constructed in years 2010 – 2016, making A4 the first Polish complete border-to-border highway connection.
