During the Open’er festival in Gdynia, there will be significant changes to traffic organization. The restrictions will affect several key streets, and a special permit system will be introduced for some residents and users of the area.
Restrictions on Zielona Street
The most serious changes will concern Zielona Street. On the section from Polk. Dąbka Street towards the Babie Doły district, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 AM, traffic will be allowed only for local residents and owners of garden plots with special identifiers issued by the organizers
The restrictions will be in effect daily from July 1 to July 4, 2026. At other times — from 5:00 AM to 1:00 PM — traffic on the street will remain free and unrestricted
Changes on Other Streets
Zmiany w organizacji ruchu wpłyną również na inne obszary miasta. W szczególności na ulicy Janka Wiśniewskiego, od stacji SKM Stocznia do Placu Konstytucji, ścieżki rowerowe będą tymczasowo wyłączone. W kierunku centrum miasta powstanie wydzielony pas dla autobusów miejskich z przystankami, z którego będą mogły korzystać również rowerzyści.
During the festival, taxis will not be able to use the bus lanes on the Kwiatkowskiego overpass, as well as on Kwiatkowskiego Street from Janka Wiśniewskiego Street to Dąbka Street. Authorities also warn of possible traffic jams on Kwiatkowskiego, Unruga, and Bosmańska streets.
Passes for Access: Where and When to Obtain
Aby ułatwić dostęp na ulicy Zielonej, organizatorzy zalecają wcześniejsze uzyskanie specjalnych przepustek. Dokument należy umieścić za szybą pojazdu — przyspieszy to kontrole w punktach kontrolnych.
Passes will be issued on June 29 and 30, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM and from 2:15 PM to 6:00 PM in the Samolot-Pomnik area in Babie Doły. On festival days (July 1–4), passes can be obtained directly at the control point on Zielona Street — from 1:00 PM to 3:00 AM.
Who Can Obtain an Identifier
A pass is issued after confirming the need to access the restricted area. Any document, letter, invoice, card, or reservation confirming residence, work, or other reasons requiring access to the Zielona Street area during the restrictions will suffice.
Authorities remind that from 5:00 AM to 1:00 PM on festival days, a pass is not required, as traffic is not restricted during this period
The Open’er festival traditionally attracts tens of thousands of visitors, so city services are preparing the infrastructure in advance for increased load and possible transport difficulties
