Tips for driving on roads and cities in the Czech Republic

I see in forums and travel websites that there is concern about difficulties driving in the Czech Republic.

Obviously, this Central European country offers some cConditions for the driver are somewhat worse than those we are currently accustomed to in Spain and other Western European countries.

In reality, older travelers will remember the conditions we had in our country 15-20 years ago, before joining the European Union.

Specifically, in the Czech Republic you will find many single carriageway roads, some dual carriageways whose layout and road surface are sometimes not in the best condition, and very few highways that, yes, are in perfect condition.

This means that for travel by car In this country, if you are not going to take the main routes where there are highways or highways, you have to calculate that you are going to travel more than 70 kilometers in an hour.

But, in conclusion, and for your peace of mind, if you are going to drive on the roads in the Czech Republic, you will not find them in poor condition.

On the contrary, for example leaving Prague towards the northeast, specifically towards litomysl, you will find a highway in excellent condition.

La signalingIn general, it is somewhat scarce. And even the traffic signs are somewhat small in size.

And pay attention to speed when crossing towns; It is limited to 50 km/h, is respected as much as possible by local drivers, and there are numerous speed cameras.
