Bielsko-Biała is located within a short distance to Czech and Slovakian borders on the crossroads of two [[Controlled-access highway|expressways]] connecting Poland with neighbouring countries:
*[[Expressway S1 (Poland)|Expressway S1]] connects the city with Slovakia via the border town [[Zwardoń]]
*[[Expressway S52 (Poland)|Expressway S52]] connects the city with the Czech Republic via the border town [[Cieszyn]]
Bielsko-Biała is connected with the rest of Poland by the [[National road 1 (Poland)|National road 1]] ([[dual carriageway]]) running to [[Tychy]] where it intersects the [[Expressway S1 (Poland)|Expressway S1]] and further to [[Katowice]] where it intersects the [[A4 autostrada (Poland)|Motorway A4]].

It is planned to extend S1 north along the existing dual carriageway DK1 from Bielsko-Biała to Tychy and Katowice, thus building an expressway connection of the city with the national motorway network of Poland. [[National road 52 (Poland)|National road 52]] connects Bielsko-Biała with [[Kraków]] in the east. The most important interchange in the area is the [[Cloverleaf interchange|cloverleaf]] north of Bielsko-Biała ([[Komorowice, Bielsko-Biała|Komorowice Śląskie]] district) where S1, DK1 and S52 meet.

Aleja Andersa and Bora-Komorowskiego Street constitute the Downtown Western Bypass (''Śródmiejska Obwodnica Zachodnia''), which connects the districts of [[Leszczyny, Bielsko-Biała|Leszczyny]], [[Kamienica, Bielsko-Biała|Kamienica]], [[Aleksandrowice, Bielsko-Biała|Aleksandrowice]] and [[Stare Bielsko]] to the junction with S52.

According to the June 2021 ranking, Bielsko-Biała had 826.7 registered vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants, including 681.3 passenger cars, which means that it was the ninth most motorized city in Poland and the second (after Katowice) in the Silesian Voivodeship.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cichy |first1=Michał |title=Bielsko-Biała na liście najbardziej zmotoryzowanych miast w Polsce |url=https://bielskobiala.beskidy.news/biznes/7961-elbielsko-biala-9-na-liscie-najbardziej-zmotoryzowanych-miast-w-polsce |publisher=Beskidy News |access-date=24 July 2023 |language=Polish |date=2021-06-24}}</ref>
