The Czech Transport Ministry wants to introduce a road toll collection system for all motorists, not just lorries, using the Czech motorways.
A pilot scheme, run by the Czech2107 Centre for Transport Research, has been taking place for the last 18 months, with a thousand vehicles currently testing the electronic dashboard units which would be used to calculate the amount of toll per kilometre.
There are around 1,200 km of paid roads in the country, according to data from the Czech State Transport Infrastructure Fund (SFDI), on which passenger car drivers pay an annual fee in the form of a motorway stamp. According to some experts, introduction of a road toll system is the only way to effectively maintain and develop the motorway infrastructure in the country.
