To drive in the Czech Republic, and to travel on certain motorway sections, it is necessary to purchase the special badge, called Elektronická Dálničkí Známka. This is a special prepaid digital sticker, mandatory for all vehicles up to 3.5 tons in weight. The so-called Czech Vignette must also be purchased for just crossing a short stretch of road.
Motorways that do NOT require the use of the Vignette are identified by special signs at the entrance to each motorway junction. This is a road sign on a white background, with a red cross stripe; this rye is placed below the green sign indicating the entrance to the motorway.
The Czech Vignette is available in three different denominations, which vary according to the duration, from a minimum of 10 days to a maximum of one year. For all vehicles with natural gas and methane engines there is a 50% discount (Eko Cena)
