Abstract
The purpose of the chapter is to show the processes which have an impact on the size, structure, and spatial distribution of heavy goods vehicles traffic over the network of national and voivodeship roads in 2005–2015. A particular attention was paid to the border areas and border crossings. The analysis was performed on the basis of a number of databases, including Traffic Census as of 2005, 2010, and 2015, Polish Border Guard traffic database, the modal structure of export and import at the poviat (county) level (Central Statistical Office—GUS), and the National Traffic Survey (Central Board of National Roads and Motorways—GDDKiA). The border (external) traffic was divided into origin-destination traffic and transit traffic.
