Migration to the cities is a trend which is observed in Poland and it is expected to continue in the near future. An increasing level of motoring and freight being carried in most Polish cities is causing serious transport problems. Bottlenecks, delivery obstacles, congestion, traffic jams and air pollution require prompt organisational and technological intervention. The article starts a discussion about the condition of the urban logistics in Poland, comparing various practices existing in the selected Polish cities from the point of view of cities residents. It presents the main preferences, observed on the basis of the research conducted in 2018 by the author. This is supported by the cost analysis as well as various statistics at the national, regional and local level. The author outlines the barriers and obstacles in the planning and implementing of the modern urban logistical solutions. The article includes recommendations for Polish cities' authorities. The author emphasises that there is still a lack of long-term investment plans in the field of city logistics. There is also an urgent need to introduce regulations limiting freight traffic in Polish cities. The paper includes recommendations for creating Urban Vehicle Access Regulation Schemes for Polish cities.
