nieprzejezdno

Nieprzejezdno is a Polish term used to describe a route, road, or passage that cannot be traversed by vehicles or pedestrians. It denotes an impassable condition, whether temporary—such as during roadworks, a traffic accident, or flooding—or permanent, for example when a segment is closed to traffic. In road signage, maps, and transport documentation, related forms are nieprzejezdny (masculine), nieprzejezdna (feminine), and nieprzejezdne (neuter), with nieprzejezdno functioning as an adverbial form or label in certain contexts.

Etymology and grammar: the word is built from the prefix nie- meaning "not" and przejezdny meaning "passable." The adjective declines as nieprzejezdny, nieprzejezdna, nieprzejezdne, depending on gender and number. The adverbial form nieprzejezdno is used to describe a state or action, such as an area being impassable.

Usage and contexts: the term appears in traffic information, road signs, and public notices. Common phrases include Droga nieprzejezdna (the road is impassable) or Odcinek nieprzejezdny (impassable section), often with details about the reason and possible detours. It covers temporary closures due to construction, events, or emergencies, as well as permanent barriers or significant damage that prevents passage.

Related terms and concepts: nieprzejezdny most (impassable bridge), droga nieprzejezdna (impassable road), objazd (detour), and zakaz ruchu (traffic ban). The concept is closely linked to traffic management and emergency planning in Polish transport discourse.
