Czechia: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Františkovy Lázně has one driving restriction on our books: the Vybraná místa – vjezd s motorovým vozidlem do vybraných míst a částí… (limited traffic zone). The published charge is 50.00 CZK per day. What is a limited traffic zone?

50.00 CZK per day.
The spa centre of Františkovy Lázně is closed to motor vehicles by traffic sign, and the town's ordinance sets the price of the permit that lets you past it. The ordinance is unusually precise about which sign: B1 with supplementary plate E13 reading "Vjezd povolen po zaplacení místního poplatku" — entry permitted once the local charge is paid. Behind it are six streets in full — Dr.
Pohoreckého, Boženy Němcové, Jiráskova, Národní třída, Husova and Poštovní — plus the stretch of Ruská between Americká and Dr. Pohoreckého, and the pedestrian zone, which stays open for deliveries. A permit costs 50 Kč per vehicle for each started day, and that is the only rate: there is no weekly, monthly or annual alternative to buy.
For a single day, or part of one, you do not even have to register — the ordinance waives the declaration for a one-off permit.
Residents and property owners inside the zone pay nothing, and neither do their close family, businesses and public-benefit users of property there, ZTP and ZTP/P card holders with their companions, anyone over 65 registered as living in the town, delivery vehicles, or a spa guest staying inside the zone, who is exempt for the whole of the stay rather than just the arrival and departure days.
The ordinance took effect on 31 January 2026 and replaced the town's 2023 one; the national register records it as Platné.
