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]
