Central European transport and regional developments
Various regional developments are occurring across Central Europe regarding transport, infrastructure, and costs.
In Slovakia, motorists face high registration fees for older, high-performance vehicles, with costs determined by engine power and emission coefficients rather than market value. Additionally, new traffic regulations are being implemented, including changes to speed limit signage validity and the identification of hundreds of locations requiring pedestrian crossing improvements.
In the Czech Republic, the South Bohemian Region has announced plans to complete all planned road bypasses by 2035 to reduce transit traffic in town centers. Meanwhile, in Poland, rising fuel prices are approaching 10 zlotys per liter, causing technical issues where older digital gas station displays are unable to show double-digit prices.
In Poprad, Slovakia, the Tatranská galéria hosted the ‘Integration through Art 2026’ project, featuring workshops for people with disabilities and an exhibition of their creative work.
