Czech Republic expands road network and traffic measures with new speed radars, highway bypasses and urban street reopen

The Police of the Czech Republic activated a new section‑averaging speed‑radar system on the Výška road on 15 May 2026, enforcing a 90 km/h limit. A major reconstruction of the Brodu‑Světlá road began 2 June 2026, closing the route until late October 2026 and continuing into 2027, with an estimated cost of 83.6 million CZK. Repairs on the II/635 road near Křelova finished on 1 June 2026, reopening the segment as part of the D35 highway project. The regional bus line 210 received schedule changes and an extra stop to relieve crowding at Bílovice nad Svitavou. The Martinovická bypass north of Mladá Boleslav, an 8.2 km, three‑lane highway, broke ground in May 2026; at a contract value of 1.233 billion CZK it should be operational by June 2028, diverting about 14 200 vehicles daily from town streets. Jihlava opened a new European street linking a roundabout with the Central Transport Terminal, adding a 70‑space park‑and‑ride and planning a second phase. A 65‑year‑old driver was stopped on the D46 near Vyškov for travelling 166 km/h in a 110 km/h zone, facing a fine up to 25 000 CZK, six penalty points and a possible licence ban. In Ostrava, the road authority announced a 5.5 km asphalt renewal on Rudná street, with an estimated 35.6 million CZK budget, to ease chronic traffic congestion.
