Stan infrastruktury drogowej województw o najniższym poziomie rozwoju w Polsce
The state of road infrastructure of voivodships with the lowest development level in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study was to present the state and trends of road infrastructure changes in the least developed part of the country, i.e. in Eastern Poland and its immediate vicinity. The road conditions of various groups were identified, from paved roads to highways and motorways. It was shown that the condition of infrastructure in the analyzed voivodships differed significantly from the average values for the whole country. In the analyzed years (2002–2017), however, progress was made, especially in the Świętokrzyskie and Podkarpackie voivodships. The smallest progress has been recorded in the Warmian-Masurian voivodeship. There was a positive correlation between the state of voivodship saturation with roads and the level of their economic development. Investments in road construction can therefore be a factor stimulating the development of poorer regions.
