Czechia: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Janské 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 centre of the Krkonoše spa town of Janské Lázně is closed to motor vehicles by traffic sign, and ordinance č. 6/2023 sets the price of the permit that lets you past it. Čl.
3 names the sign — "Zákaz vjezdu všech motorových vozidel" with the plate "Dopravní obsluze a na povolení MěÚ Janské Lázně vjezd povolen" — and then names the roads behind it: náměstí Svobody, the streets Lázeňská, Obchodní, Na Sluneční stráni, Školní and Rekreační, the Dolní and Horní promenáda, and part of Černohorská and part of Lesní.
This is the first Czech town in this corpus whose rate depends on the vehicle: 50 Kč per started day for a car and 150 Kč for anything over 3.5 tonnes. Annual passes are cheaper for people who work inside the zone — 300 Kč for a first permit and 500 Kč for each further one, against 1 000 Kč in every other case.
A single day can be paid at one of the town's payment machines, and then the day you pay is the day it is due. The exemptions are the widest of any Czech town here, and one of them is wide enough that we do not interpret it: alongside residents, property owners and ZTP card holders, čl. 7 odst.
2 exempts town employees, school transport, wedding and funeral vehicles on the day, holders of a parking card issued by the town office, vehicles taking people to a GP or dentist — and, in its own words, "fyzické osoby přihlášené mimo vybrané místo a právnické osoby se sídlem mimo vybrané místo", natural persons registered outside the selected place and legal persons seated outside it.
Read literally that covers most visiting drivers, and it cannot be squared with the charge existing at all; the ordinance offers no explanation and we do not supply one. Ask the Městský úřad Janské Lázně before assuming either way. The ordinance took effect on 2 January 2024 and repealed the town's 2019 one; the national register records it as Platné.
