National Road 94 () is a road in Poland. It runs through 5 voivodeships: Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Opole Voivodeship, Silesian Voivodeship, Lesser Poland Voivodeship and Subcarpathian Voivodeship. It is a road of GP class and partially G class. The road runs as a free alternative route for A4 motorway. National road 94 in large part runs along the old route of national road no. 4 and because of that it is colloquially called the old four by drivers. After the completion of the A4 motorway the formerly parallel-running national road no. 4 has become of secondary importance and serves as a backup route; it can be useful in case of a traffic collision or other source disrupting traffic on the A4.
History From 1996 to 2001, there were plans to build expressway S94 on route Bielsko-Biała – Żywiec – Zwardoń. In 2000 the national road network was reformed and this section got number 69, which was later built as S69. In 2016 the route was incorporated into S1.
