150 km/h Speed Limit Coming to Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is set to increase its highway speed limit to 150 km/h, following a new law approved earlier this year. This change will apply to specific sections of highways, including a 50 km stretch of the D3 highway, with implementation expected by the end of the year. However, the new limit will only be enforced in areas with good visibility and may be adjusted based on weather and traffic conditions.
In contrast, Spain is unlikely to see similar changes to its speed limits. The Spanish Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has expressed concerns about the increased risk of accidents and environmental impacts associated with higher speeds. Additionally, the rise of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles may influence future discussions on speed limits in Europe.
Overall, while the Czech Republic embraces this trend, other countries like Spain remain cautious about increasing speed limits on their highways.
