D3 Motorway (Slovakia)
D3 motorway () (formerly ''D18''), sometimes called the Kysuce Motorway, is a motorway in northern Slovakia. Initially, it is supposed to be only a two-lane motorway in the Svrčinovec - Slovak/Polish border section, and four-lane motorway in the remaining Hričovské Podhradie - Čadca section. The D3 motorway is part of the main route of the 6th Pan-European corridor and it lies on these E-roads: E50, E75 and E442. When completed, it will become the third longest Slovak motorway. The construction of the D3 motorway is extremely technically demanding as it takes place in the mountainous terrain of northern Slovakia. There are a total of four tunnels on the D3 motorway with a total length of slightly more than . Currently, three of these four tunnels are in operation in a half profile, the Horelica tunnel (605 m), the Poľana tunnel (898 m), the Svrčinovec tunnel (420 m) and one tunnel in a full profile, the Považský Chlmec tunnel (2,249 m) It starts at the motorway junct ...

Pan-European Corridor
The ten Pan-European transport corridors were defined at the second Pan-European transport Conference in Crete, March 1994, as routes in Central and Eastern Europe that required major investment over the next ten to fifteen years. Additions were made at the third conference in Helsinki in 1997. Therefore, these corridors are sometimes referred to as the "Crete corridors" or "Helsinki corridors", regardless of their geographical locations. These development corridors are distinct from the Trans-European transport networks, which is a European Union project and include all major established routes in the European Union, although there are proposals to combine the two systems, since most of the involved countries now are members of the EU. The corridors variously encompass road, rail and waterway routes. {, class="wikitable" , I, , (North-South) Helsinki - Tallinn - Riga - Kaunas and Klaipėda - Warsaw and Gdańsk *Branch A ( Via Hanseatica/ E264) - St. Petersburg to Riga to ...

The majority of these dual carriageways are managed by the state-owned :sk:Národná diaľničná spoločnosť, National Motorway Company of Slovakia (NDS), established in 2005. The first modern highway in Slovakia should have been built in the 1930s. The planned motorway would have connected Prague with northern Slovakia. However, the construction of Slovak motorways did not begin until the 1970s. NDS currently manages and maintains 854 km (530 mi) of motorways and expressways. By the year 2030 the highway network Slovakia will be around 1,904 km.

Vignette (road Tax)
Vignette is a form of road pricing imposed on vehicles, usually in addition to the compulsory road tax, based on a period of time the vehicle may use the road, instead of road tolls that are based on distance travelled. Vignettes are currently used in several European countries. The term originated in France in the 1950s, although vignettes there were not linked to motorway use and no longer exist; it is now used throughout Central Europe, as well as in Italy (''vignetta''). Vignettes are used in Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe.

Skalité
Skalité () is a village and municipality in Čadca District in the Žilina Region of northern Slovakia. History In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1662.

In response, units of the Czechoslovak Border Guard opened fire on the Polish units, and a skirmish took place, with some victims.

On November 30 in Zakopane, both sides agreed that Skalité would be annexed by the Second Polish Republic. As a result, the town became a border station of the Polish State Railways, along the strategic line from Zwardoń to Čadca. In the period fall 1938 - September 1939, Polish trains ran along the Zwardoń - Čadca - Mosty Slaskie line, without stopping at Čadca railway station, which remained part of Czechoslovakia (later Slovakia).
