Toll roads in the Czech Republic
Toll payments in the Czech Republic are managed through the digital vignette system. All tolled motorways are marked with D, and a valid e-vignette linked to your licence plate is mandatory before entering these routes. Your license plate is automatically registered in the national electronic toll database, ensuring compliance without stickers or toll booths.
Some motorways are also marked with E, showing that they are part of the wider European road network.

All tolled motorways in the Czech Republic are continuously monitored by cameras and police patrols. Vehicles are automatically checked by their license plates in the national toll system. Driving without a valid vignette can result in high fines, often much higher than the vignette itself. To avoid penalties and travel stress-free, make sure to purchase your Czech Republic digital vignette online in advance.
