ROADS AND SIGNS

The Czech motorway network currently covers about 1400 kilometers. Of the 18 highways, only 5 are completely terminated. The remaining ones are almost completely operational. The end of the extension works is set for the 2030. There are no toll barriers on motorways: it is compulsory to buy a mark or vignette. More info from here.

Generally, the motorways are quite busy and in good condition. The exception is represented by the D1 between Prague and Brno, a real scarecrow of motorists; perpetually in maintenance, with numerous blocks, and traffic at all hours. Pay close attention here. The D0 designates the ring highway that surrounds the Capital.

The highways are all identified by a white number on a red background. A blue signal with one or two digits, on the other hand, identifies a main road. Three numbers on a blue background, indicate the second level streets; generally, they are streets designed to relieve traffic on the main arteries. Third level roads are identified by four numbers, on a blue background.

Motorways are the most convenient and fast way to travel around the country. Except for some exceptions. The secondary roads, and third level, are less rapid and comfortable but, on the other hand, offer views and landscapes really impressive.
