“Probably a good spot. First of all, there’s a no stopping sign right in front of the spot :Dd but the drivers probably don’t care. We waited for about an hour and got taken to a gas station half way to Bialystok.”

“A lot of local traffic, we had bialystok sign which as other guy said might have been a mistake, better to have a sign for something closer, after quite a long wait some guys drove us to a kfc on the express road.”
