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

The March 2, 1999 Decree of the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Economy (now Ministry of Infrastructure) on technical conditions and operational requirements for public roads,[1] introduced the following road classes and their hierarchy, starting from the road type with the highest parameters:

Categories

The classification of roads into categories according to their functions was introduced by the March 21, 1985 act "On Public Roads" of the Sejm.[2] The allowable road classes for particular categories were specified in the March 2, 1999 Decree.[1]
