Overtaking bans are placed where it is most needed from the point of view of traffic research in terms of density and accident rate. Overall, two sections of variable marking on the D1 motorway (heavy traffic, bad weather) will present 145 kilometres of overtaking restrictions for trucks on Czech motorways. Adding to it the already existing limitation for truck traffic over 12 t to the total of 29 km of motorways (see below), we get almost 200 km. middle lane on D1 at 6 – 0 km Průhonice – Prague restrictions in tunnel sections on D8: Prackovice – Radejčín and Libouchec – Panenská Klimkovice Tunnel on D1
