Bad traffic situation in Prague

If you can avoid driving into Prague by car, better do it. Even though there are less cars in Prague thanks to summer holidays than in other months of the year, the transport situation in the city is rather critical.

One of the main reasons are several road restrictions due to works on the roads. Right now there are workers on the road on Barrandov bridge, on one of the arteries called Jizni spojka, in Kbelska street, Vysocanska street and on D1 near Chodov. Bad traffic situation is also near Letna, because of closed Stefanikuv most and Letensky tunnel in direction to the city centre.

The municipal authorities recommend to leave the car at the large parking places outside the city centre that are marked P+R. These parking places are close to public transport, mainly metro. Travellers leaving their cars at this P+R (park + ride) places can travel by the public transport much cheaper. Special tickets for the parking fee + public transport can be bought just at this parking places.
