The design of road signs in Poland is regulated by ''Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Interior Affairs and Administration on road signs and signals''. The Annex 1 to the regulation describes conditions related to usage of the road signs – size, visibility, colors and light reflections,
typeface
A typeface (or font family) is the design of lettering that can include variations in size, weight (e.g. bold), slope (e.g. italic), width (e.g. condensed), and so on. Each of these variations of the typeface is a font.

Road signs are divided into two categories – "vertical" () and "horizontal" (). The "vertical" signs (triangular, circular or rectangular) are placed on the side of the road or over the road. The "horizontal" ones are simply
road markings painted on the carriageway, usually with white paint. Yellow paint is used in temporary situations, mostly during road work. It has higher priority than white paint.

Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or provide information to road users. The earliest signs were simple wooden or stone milestones. Later, signs with directional arms were introduce ...

. Warning signs have yellow background rather than the more common black-on-white design, and therefore are similar to the
road signs in Greece.
Polish road signs depict people with stylized (as opposed to naturalistic) silhouettes.
Meaning of the traffic signals and their usage is described in another regulation. Traffic signals are placed on the right side of the road, on the left side or over the carriageway. There are three types of traffic signals:
* signals made by traffic lights
* signals made by authorised personnel
* sound signals or vibrative
Poland signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968 and ratified it on August 23, 1984.
Vertical signs
There are seven types of "vertical signs":
# Warning signs (; type A) – triangular with the tip pointed upwards (with exception of sign A-7, where its tip is pointed downwards – it provides clear meaning of the sign even during the reduced readability or when looking on it from behind), with red border. The symbols are black on yellow background, with exception of sign A-29 which presents a three-colored

# Prohibition signs (; type B) – circular with red border. Black (in some cases colorful) symbol on white background (exceptions: sign B-20 "STOP", which has an octagonal shape – it also provides clear meaning even during reduced readability or when looking on it from behind; signs B-39, B-40 and B-44 are rectangular). In case of the signs that cancel specific restrictions the symbol is grey and crossed out by thick black diagonal line.
# Mandatory signs (; type C) – circular, with a white symbol on blue background. The exception is C-17 sign (mandatory direction for vehicles carrying dangerous materials) which is placed on white rectangular board.
# Information signs (; type D) – rectangular, blue (or with a white square on blue background) with a white, black or colorful symbol. There are few exceptions: D-1 and D-2 signs which are yellow on white background; additionally one of tips is pointed upwards to give the clear meaning like with A-7 and B-20 signs. D-42 to D-47 signs are big white rectangles.
# Directional signs (; type E) – these signs have different shapes and colors, depending on the situation and placement.
# Complementary signs (; type F) – big rectangular or square signs with blue or yellow background. These signs mostly inform about traffic order or approaching restrictions and dangers.
# Complementary plates (; type T) – small rectangular signs, mostly with white or yellow background, with black text or symbol. These are placed under main sign, extending its meaning.
Depending on road type there are five groups of size:
* large (; W) – used only on
motorways

* big (; D) – used on
expressways,
dual carriageway roads outside the built-up area and on roads inside the built-up area with maximum speed higher than
* medium (; S) – used on motorway slip roads, expressway slip roads,
national roads,
voivodeship road
According to classes and categories of public roads in Poland, a voivodeship road ( pl, droga wojewódzka) is a category of roads one step below national roads in importance. The roads are numbered from 100 to 993. Total length of voivodeship r ...
s and
powiat roads, with exception of directional signs
* small (; M) – used on
gmina roads and as directional signs on powiat roads
* mini (MI) – used on traffic bollards, directional signs and inside the built-up areas when it's impossible to use larger signs or it would reduce visibility of pedestrians and on narrow streets.
The most used size of road signs in Poland, defined in Regulation as medium, is in case of circular with diameter of ; in case of triangular the length of one of edges has ; in case of square or rectangular one of square edges or shorter edge of rectangle has .
Dimensions of directional signs are depending on size of letters, type and size of symbols and also by length and number of locality names.
To provide proper visibility and readability of road signs, the faces are made with reflective materials. Type of used material is dependent on road category.
