Information, direction, location and supplementary signs
145 questions in this category
Information signs in Poland use blue or green rectangular backgrounds and provide drivers with useful guidance about road conditions, services, and directions. Supplementary signs (tabliczki) are small plates mounted below other signs that add context such as distance, time restrictions, or vehicle categories. Direction signs use color coding: green for motorways, blue for national roads, and white for local roads.
Why This Category Matters on the Exam
Expect 2-4 questions on information and supplementary signs per exam. While these signs do not indicate prohibitions or dangers, the exam tests whether you understand their precise meaning. Questions often focus on supplementary plates that modify the meaning of the main sign above them, which catches many candidates off guard. Correctly interpreting direction signs is also tested, especially motorway junction layouts.
Common Mistakes and Tips
The biggest pitfall is ignoring supplementary plates. A parking sign with a plate showing "Mon-Fri 8-18" means parking restrictions only apply during those hours. Many candidates also confuse the pedestrian crossing information sign (blue square) with the warning sign (triangle), which have completely different legal implications. In Poland, the green motorway signs indicate roads with speed limits of 140 km/h, while blue expressway signs indicate 120 km/h limits. Direction signs in Poland also include European route numbers in green boxes, which differ from the domestic numbering system. Always read the entire sign assembly, including all supplementary plates, before answering.
