Examples are provided for traffic pole verification systems. In one example, a traffic detection system in a vehicle includes a navigation sensor, a communication system, a processor, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to determine a current location information of the vehicle, obtain a referring traffic pole information based on the current location information, receive one or more of cryptographic pole data and associated cryptographic sign data via the communication system from a transmitter associated with a prospective referring traffic pole including an associated traffic sign mounted thereon; and selectively control one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based on cryptographic verification of the prospective referring pole using the obtained referring traffic pole information; wherein the cryptographic verification of the prospective referring pole is performed after successful signature verification of the one or more of cryptographic pole data and associated cryptographic sign data.
