Local traffic was very light (almost no cars except a few from Poland) on Highway 521 which was less bumpy than in Poland to be honest. But drive carefully: local highways maybe icy even from late September till early May esp. at night/early morning and in forests, snowy often in January and February.
Emergency phones:
Fire - 150
SOS (road service?) - 154
Ambulance - 155
Police - 158
Hmm... write the above numbers down or put into your cell phone memory card not to look for them in real emergency. Btw I think it's a safe country and area for driving visitors.
