6 Sierpnia Street, Łódź

6 Sierpnia Street is located in the western part of the Śródmieście district (City Center) and the eastern part of the Polesie district (Stare Polesie) in Łódź, with a length of approximately 2 km (1.2 mi). It starts at the intersection with Piotrkowska Street and runs almost parallel to the equator to the intersection with Lucjan Żeligowski Street, and then southwest to the intersection with Włókniarzy Avenue. Its eastern extension, across Piotrkowska Street, is Romuald Traugutt Street. The name of the street commemorates the date of the departure of the First Cadre Company in 1914. The street is divided into two sections by the dual carriageway of Tadeusz Kościuszko Avenue – neither straight passage nor left turns are possible (the barrier is a separated tram track), and only pedestrian crossing is allowed on the southern side of the intersection. The initial section, less than 300 m long, up to the intersection with Wólczańska Street, is located in the city center and in the historical-tourist zone of the city, while the remaining part is in Stare Polesie. The first section of the street – between Piotrkowska Street and Tadeusz Kościuszko Avenue – is designated as a traffic-calmed zone, and since the end of June 2014, it has been a city courtyard (Dutch: woonerf) and since 1 January 2015 has had the status of an internal road. The remaining part – from Tadeusz Kościuszko Avenue to the end – has the status of a county road (No. 1126E). Since 5 August 2022, two-way traffic has been in effect along almost the entire length of the street, except for the section between Piotrkowska Street and Tadeusz Kościuszko Avenue, where traffic is one-way eastbound, opposite to the direction of property numbering. The initial part of the street (properties with odd numbers from 1 to 9 and even numbers from 2 to 20) belongs to the Roman Catholic Parish of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the next part on the even side (properties with numbers from 22 to 98) belongs to the Roman Catholic Parish of Our Lady of Victory, and the odd side (properties with numbers from 13 to 71) belongs to the Roman Catholic Parish of St. Matthew the Apostle.
