Czechia: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Znojmo has one driving restriction on our books: the Vybraná místa – vjezd vozidel nad 3,5 t do historického jádra (heavy vehicle ban). The published charge is 100.00 CZK per day. What is a heavy vehicle ban?

100.00 CZK per day.
Znojmo's old town is closed by traffic sign to motor vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, and the town's ordinance sets what a permit to bring one in costs.
A car is never in this scheme at any hour: the whole ordinance turns on total weight, and the forty-three streets and squares it names — Masarykovo náměstí, Horní náměstí, Divišovo náměstí, Obroková, Zelenářská, Velká Mikulášská, Hradní and the rest of the historic core — are unaffected by it for anything at or under 3.5 tonnes.
A permit is 100 Kč per vehicle for each started day, or 200 Kč a calendar week, 600 Kč a month, 2 500 Kč for half a year and 4 800 Kč a year. Residents and property owners inside the zone and their families, businesses and public-benefit users of property there, and holders of a ZTP or ZTP/P disability card with their companions pay nothing.
Nor do heavy vehicles of the integrated rescue system on a callout, town buses and other services licensed by the town's transport department — the tourist road train and the wine bus are named — sewer and street cleaning, refuse collection, vehicle recovery, utility and data-cable emergency work, or a heavy vehicle attending a wedding or a funeral, which is allowed to wait at two named spots for as long as the ceremony needs.
In force since 1 January 2024; the national register records it as Platné.
