How does toll system work in the Czech Republic
Based on the vehicle weight, there are two types of toll systems in Czechia.
- For vehicles that weigh under 3.5 tonnes
- A vignette or toll sticker[2] is necessary to travel on motorways. You must stick the sticker on the windshield of the vehicle. Motorcycles are not subjected to this obligation
- For HGVs, and vehicles that weigh above 3.5 tonnes
- A satellite-based electronic toll system[3] enforces tolling. Toll rates are calculated based on the number of kilometers traveled, vehicle’s weight, number of axles, and pollution category. Every vehicle must have a MYTO CZ OBU device installed in order to pay the toll in this system
