[ENG] Since the Middle Ages, two communication routes have run through the area of ??the current district: from Warsaw through Jeziorna to Czersk and the so-called the Warka route from Warsaw through Piaseczno to Warka with a branch to Czersk. In the second decade of the 19th century, the Pulawy government route was built (from 1845 called the New Alexandria route), a part of which is today's Pulawska Street. After the new route was launched, the old Warka route lost its importance and became a local road. Contrary to the information on the tablet, the Warecki Route was never part of the Amber Route because it existed much later and was located approximately 300 km east of it.

[POL] Przez teren obecnego powiatu przebiegaly od sredniowiecza dwa szlaki komunikacyjne: z Warszawy przez Jeziorne do Czerska i tzw. trakt warecki z Warszawy przez Piaseczno do Warki z odgalezieniem do Czerska. W drugiej dekadzie XIX w. przeprowadzono trakt rzadowy pulawski (od 1845 r. zwany nowoaleksandryjskim), którego czescia jest dzisiejsza ulica Pulawska. Po uruchomieniu nowej trasy stary trakt warecki stracil na znaczeniu i stal sie droga lokalna. Wbrew informacji na tabliczce Trakt Warecki nigdy nie byl czescia szlaku bursztynowego gdyz istnial znacznie pózniej i lezal ok. 300 km na wschód od niego.
