Classes and categories of public roads in Poland

In Poland, public roads are classified into two kinds of road hierarchies: road classes (according to technical and functional parameters) and road categories (according to the function in the road network).

Classes Road classes are defined by the executive resolution of the Minister of Infrastructure of 24 June 2022. The document specifies technical parameters of public roads, including design speeds, number of carriageways and traffic lanes, surface and shoulder requirements, etc.
