of 13 February 1951
implementing the Public Road Traffic Act.
The Government of the Czechoslovak Republic orders pursuant to § § § 20 and 24 of Act No. 56 / 1950 Coll., on the operation on public roads (hereinafter "the Act"):
Taking a public road.
Road rules.
General provisions on the use of the public road.
Basic rule.
When using a public road, everyone must ensure that road safety and continuity are not jeopardised. It must also ensure that it does not jeopardise the safety of persons and does not damage property, particularly public road, and does not disturb order.
General use of the public road.
Everyone may use public roads in the usual way for the purposes for which they are intended. However, those who, for their age or for their physical or mental defects, may, by using a public road, endanger the safety or fluidity of road traffic or the safety of persons or property, or violate the order of the public road, may use public roads only if appropriate measures are taken to prevent such a threat.
Road obstructions.
(1) Each person shall be obliged, as far as possible, to ensure that the obstacle caused by the road traffic is removed as soon as possible; However, if there is an obstacle to an accident in road traffic, measures may not be taken to prejudice a proper official examination of the accident. The local national committee shall take the necessary measures to remedy the disturbance as necessary.
(2) If the obstacle to road transport cannot be removed without delay, whoever caused it must take measures to allow other users of the public road to spot it in time.
Road traffic accidents.
(1) If there has been an accident in road traffic, anyone who has participated in it shall, as far as possible, ensure that the consequences of the accident are minimised.
(2) All those involved in the accident are obliged to demonstrate their identity to each other upon request; the obligation to prove its identity is also given to anyone who transfers additional care to a person injured in a road traffic accident (transport, hospital, etc.).
(3) Where damage has been caused in an accident on a public road or on another public establishment, anyone who caused the damage is obliged to notify it without delay to the nearest local national committee or national security authority.
Special use of the public road.
In particular, authorisations for the specific use of a public road shall be:
(a) to organise competitions, competitions and similar undertakings on a public road;
(b) transport of particularly heavy or large objects;
(c) to place an installation or object on a public road where this exceeds the limits of its general use;
(d) the organisation of undertakings and the location of facilities (objects) in the immediate vicinity of the public road, where the safety or fluidity of road traffic could be jeopardised by their operation or by their location, after the operational disturbances they cause.
(1) Authorisations for the specific use of a public road may be withdrawn or tied, including, where appropriate, additional, conditions or restrictions.
(2) The permit for the specific use of the public road in the cases referred to in § 5 (c) and (d) is decided by the district national committee. the local national committee decides instead if there is a special use of a road other than the 1st to 3rd classes.
Maintaining proper state of the public road.
Everyone is obliged to take care and pay attention to the proper state of the public road; public roads shall not in particular be damaged or polluting.
Provisions on driving by vehicles.
Driving vehicles.
(1) On a public road, any vehicle or vehicle assembly shall be driven by a person who is competent to do so and is familiar with the rules on traffic on public roads.
(2) If one driver cannot safely control the vehicle (s), the number of additional drivers needed must be gained.
The driver is responsible for the proper condition of the vehicle and for compliance with all road traffic regulations. In particular, it must ensure that it still controls the vehicle and must take all measures in time to ensure that the safety of other users of the public road is not jeopardised by the operation of its vehicle.
Obligations of the vehicle holder.
The holder of the vehicle shall ensure that the vehicle is driven on a public road only by persons competent to do so and that it is not put into service on a public road, unless it complies either with the road traffic rules itself or its load. This also applies to the holder of an animal used in road traffic.
Direction.
(1) On public roads, the right is used. The slow-moving vehicles and all vehicles shall be driven at the right edge of the road in unclear places.
(2) The left side of the road may be used only for overtaking or when special circumstances require it.
Avoiding and overtaking.
(1) Avoiding to the right. If there is no sufficient distance between the tracks and the edge of the road to the right, the rolling stock on the left shall be avoided.
(2) It passes to the left. Rolling stock shall be overtaken to the right; If this does not allow an insufficient distance between the tracks and the road edge, the rolling stock moving to the left may be passed. On one-way roads, rolling stock can be crossed left and right.
Diversion.
When diverting, the driver of the vehicle shall take greater care and respect for pedestrians and other road traffic and shall not interfere with traffic in the opposite direction or the operation of rolling stock.
Priority in driving.
(1) At the crossroads, drivers of vehicles driving on the side road are obliged to give priority in driving on the main road.

If the vehicles of the armed corps or vehicles provide emergency and fire warning services, they shall be released immediately as they approach. If fire services are involved in the vehicle, drivers of all other vehicles are required to drive to the right and stop temporarily.
Stopping and stopping vehicles.
On a public road, it is possible to stop or stand with vehicles only in places where this does not interfere with road traffic or endangers its safety.
Leaving the vehicle.
Vehicles may remain unsupervised on a public road only if they have all been designed in such a way as not to jeopardise the safety or continuity of road traffic, the safety of persons or property or the order on the public road.
Drive speed.
The speed of the journey must be adapted to circumstances, in particular to the traffic, visibility, condition and nature of the public road and the state of the vehicle. In doing so, the driver must still control the speed of his vehicle and must slow the ride in time, after which, whenever circumstances require.
A sign for stopping and changing direction of travel. Warning signs.

Provisions on cycling and riding.
General provision.
Unless otherwise provided for in this Section, the provisions for riding by the vehicles referred to in Section 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Lighting of the bicycle.
Under reduced visibility, the bicycles shall have a white or slightly yellow light at the front of the lamp, which effectively illuminates the road.
Horse riding.
(1) Special journeys must be used for horse riding and, if not, roads.
(2) Horsemen may not go more than two side by side. However, under reduced visibility, they shall be behind each other if they are not illuminated as closed departments or if they are not sufficiently illuminated by other light sources.
Provisions for pedestrians.
Obligations of pedestrians.

March formations and parades.
(1) Marching formations or parades shall take place on the right side of the road and make room for overtaking and anti-driving vehicles. Longer marching formations (parades) shall be arranged in such a way that they do not endanger the safety or continuity of road traffic, in particular they shall be divided into smaller groups sufficiently distant from each other.
(2) The walking school youth should use the pavement, the pavement only if they cannot walk the pavement; where it uses roads, the provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply to it.
Road traffic control by road signs and transport authorities.

(a) to ensure security measures;
(b) when carrying out work on a public road;
(c) if the state of the public road necessitates this;
(d) the specific use of the public road.
Local road traffic arrangements shall be made public by means of a road sign or transport equipment. In Prague, it is possible to do so in the cases referred to in Paragraph 30 (1), where the placing on the market of a sign (transport equipment) would not be appropriate with regard to the safety or continuity of road traffic, by a decree of the Central National Committee in the Official Journal.
Transport authorities' instructions.
(1) The instructions of the authorities directly controlling or supervising traffic on public roads (transport authorities) take precedence over the rules of road traffic and above the instructions expressed by road signs or devices, in particular light signs.

(2) An exemption which is immediately required in road traffic may also be authorised by the transport authority on the spot itself.
Implementing regulations.
The provisions necessary for the implementation of this Part shall be issued by the Ministry of National Security in agreement with the participating central authorities by a decree in an official document; In particular, the obligations of vehicle drivers and other users of the public road will be laid down.
