Road signs in Poland

The road signs in Poland follow the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals and, therefore, are more or less identical to those in other European countries. Warning signs have yellow background rather than the more common black-on-white design, and therefore similar to the Road signs in South Korea.

Polish signs depict stickman silhouetted persons.

Warning signs

Warning signs are triangular with yellow backgrounds and red borders.
