National road 37 (Polish: Droga krajowa nr 37, abbreviated as DK37) is a main road (class G road)[1](Polish: droga główna, droga klasy G) route belonging to Polish national roads network, located in West Pomeranian Voivodeship. With its length of 14.6 kilometres (9.1 mi), the route connects the town of Darłowo with national road 6 near Karwice. In the future a new junction will be constructed, linking road 37 with expressway S6.
Until December 31, 2005, the route was categorized as powiat road[2] (Polish: droga powiatowa) 0507Z (even earlier 17-451). On January 1, 2006, based on the Regulation of Minister of Infrastructure, of May 6, 2005, the route was included in the category of national roads.
The matter of upgrading the road category to national road was for some time on the circle of interests of politicians, mostly from Samoobrona party. The route had a particular importance for Andrzej Lepper, who lived in Zielnowo near Darłowo. Because of that, the road has been nicknamed "Lepperówka".[3]
