All ‘main’ streets in Prague have a ‘yellow diamond’, indicating that the driver has right of way. Otherwise, cars on the right always have right of way. On freeways, the left lane is the only lane for overtaking. The typical speed limit within the city-center is 50km/h, zooming up to 90km/h on highways and 130km/h on freeways. While there are no tolls, to drive across the network of freeways in the Czech Republic, you need to acquire a special ‘highway’ sticker, which can be purchased from borders, gas stations and post offices.
An international driver’s license and proof of insurance (‘green’ card) is required to drive in the Czech Republic, and a passport may be requested if questioned by authorities. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
