The author deals with the highway lobby which is siting the Berlin—Moscow highway (A-2) through the Warsaw conurbation, despite high imperatives and modern global trends. Local governments, housing cooperatives, property owners, environmental organizations, specialists involved in nature conservation and protection of monuments, health workers and army representatives object to the higway construction concept. Their protest is not limited to opposition: an alternative proposal for collisionless and advantageous route for this section of the higway has been developed. The author justifies this proposal.
