Czechia: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Pardubice 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 30.00 CZK per day. What is a limited traffic zone?

30.00 CZK per day.
Pardubice charges for a permit into two places in the city centre, and two is the whole list: ulice Pod Zámkem, and the stretch of třída Míru between Sladkovského and the junction with 17. listopadu and Masarykovo náměstí. Both are in Městský obvod Pardubice I.
Entry is barred by traffic sign; the ordinance only prices the permit that gets you past it. A vehicle up to and including 3.5 tonnes pays 30 Kč for each started day, 400 Kč for 30 calendar days or 4 000 Kč for a calendar year; anything heavier pays 40 Kč, 800 Kč and 8 000 Kč. You choose the flat rate when you register, not afterwards.
Residents and property owners inside the zone pay nothing, nor do their close family, businesses and public-benefit users of property there, or ZTP and ZTP/P card holders with their companions. Emergency vehicles, city buses, care and home-care services, refuse and street-maintenance vehicles, wedding cars and hearses are exempt outright.
Read the two-place list carefully if you have seen an older one: until 1 May 2025 this scheme covered nine places, including Pernštýnská, Zámecká and Klášterní around the castle, and an amending ordinance replaced that list wholesale.
