DECLARATION
Ministry of Transport and Communications
of 4 December 1961
implementing the Road Law (Road Law)
The Ministry of Transport and Communications provides in the agreement with the participating central authorities and regional national committees pursuant to § 24 of Act No. 135 / 1961 Coll., on Road (hereinafter referred to as "the Act"):

Část první

Planning and management of motorways, roads and local roads
§ 1
Planning of the development of motorways and roads
(to § 2 (2) of the Act)
(1) The road and motorway development plan is drawn up by the Ministry of Transport and Communications in close cooperation with the national committees and in agreement with the central authorities involved.
(2) The road and road development plan contains, in particular, principles of road policy and studies, setting out, on the basis of the necessary technical and economic basis, an approximate map location for future motorway and most important road routes. The approved plan shall form the basis for the processing and discussion of indicative territorial plans; the studies shall form the basis for the elaboration of detailed territorial plans.
(3) Separate studies shall be carried out for motorways and important road construction to take place during the period of the subsequent road and road development plan, if necessary before the development and discussion of this plan. Separate studies, drawn up by analogy in accordance with paragraph 1, shall also be a basis for territorial planning.
§ 2
Planning of local communications development
(to § 2 (2) of the Act)
(1) The plans for the development of local communications are essentially part of the territorial plans of the settlements (municipalities); their establishment, negotiation and approval shall be governed by the zoning rules.
(2) The local road development plan for the territory of a municipality which does not have a local housing plan is drawn up and approved by the local national committee, which also ensures its implementation, after consulting the authorities and organisations concerned. The zoning authority shall use these plans as a basis for drawing up the zoning plans and, where appropriate, for issuing territorial decisions.
(3) The scope of the local road development plan is determined by the size and economic importance of the municipality; However, local road development plans shall always include studies setting out an approximate map position for future local road routes on the basis of the necessary technical and economic evidence.
§ 3
Performance of investment activities for motorways, roads and local communications
(to Paragraph 2 (1) of the Law)
(1) The investment activity for motorways is carried out by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, or through a directly subordinate organisation.
(2) Investment activities for first-class roads (Section 5) are carried out by regional national committees; the investment activities for the II and III roads are carried out by district national committees.
(3) Investment activities for local communications are carried out by local national committees.
(4) Where there are several national committees for the construction, conversion or modification of the road or local communications in the territorial districts, the participating national committees shall carry out their investment activities in close cooperation.
§ 4
Management and supervision of motorways, roads and local roads
(to Article 3 of the Act)
(1) The management and supervision of motorways are the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport and Communications and, where appropriate, its directly subordinate organisation; However, decisions on compensation pursuant to § 6 (2) and § 15 of the Act and decisions on the admissibility of construction pursuant to § 16 of the Act are for the county national committees.
(2) Road management and surveillance belong to the district national committees which perform these tasks either directly or through their subordinate road economy organisations; However, the regional national committees shall:
(a) authorisation of carriage of particularly heavy or large objects by road, if they exceed the territorial perimeter of one district;
(b) the authorisation of closures and the ordering of detour on first-class roads;
(c) synergy in deciding on the adaptation of first-class roads pursuant to § 19 (1) of the Act.
(3) The management and surveillance of road sections (Section 6 (1)) in cities with local tram or trolleybus transport belong to the municipal national committees.
(4) The management and supervision of local communications belong to the local national committees which perform these tasks directly and, where appropriate, through their subordinate organisations.
(5) The Ministry of Transport and Communications shall, in close cooperation with the national committees, ensure in particular:
(a) establishing the principles of road policy and the development of the road economy;
(b) the organisation or fitting of a road network, in accordance with the interests of State defence;
(c) deciding to include local or special purpose communications in the road network and to remove the road from that network;
(d) identification of roads in classes and identification of road design elements;
(e) keeping a central register of roads, local roads and central paporal roads.

Use and protection of motorways, roads and local roads
§ 5
Road network
(to Paragraph 4 (1) of the Law)
The roads shall be divided into:
(a) first-class roads which are relevant for international or national transport; are marked with numbers from 1 to 99,
(b) roads of class II which are relevant for transport between counties; are marked with numbers from 100 to 999;
(c) roads of class III which have local significance; are identified by four to five digit numbers according to the numbers closest to Route II, and, exceptionally, by Class I.
§ 6
Road transit sections
(to Paragraph 4 (1) of the Law)
(1) The transit section of the road means the section of the road leading in the territory built or intended for continuous installation; the border of that territory shall be determined by analogy with the road protection zones (§ 16 (2)). The width of the passage section is the width of the road with the sides between the increased edges of the pavement (lawns, etc.); If the village passes through a road with ditches (slopes, walls, tarages), the width of the transit section is determined by the boundary of the road body (§ 10 (1)). In squares and similar spaces, the width of the transit section shall be the width of the lane, distinguished from the surrounding surface of the road by the type or material of the road, or flat rigols, and, if not even them, the width of the lane, corresponding to the width of the road with the sides in the adjacent open line.
(2) The road management organisation shall maintain a passageway section of the road to the extent appropriate to the maintenance of the adjacent free line; Maintenance beyond this range shall be provided by the local national committee.
§ 7
Classification of local and / or special purpose communication into and removal from the road network
(to Paragraph 4 (2) of the Act)
(1) Local or special purpose communications, or parts thereof, shall be included in the road network if they are needed to organise the network effectively, in particular to achieve its connection or to connect the municipality to the road network. The decision shall be issued by the Ministry of Transport and Communications after consultation with the national committees concerned of all stages and, where appropriate, with the existing owner (s) of the communication.
(2) The road or part of it shall be removed from the road network if it is not required to organise the network effectively, in particular as a result of other investment construction or changes in the transport conditions. The decision shall be issued by the Ministry of Transport and Communications after consultation with the national committees concerned of all stages and with the military authorities.
(3) The road or part of the road may be abandoned
(a) be included as local communications in the local communications network of the municipality concerned;
(b) taken as a purpose communication to the administration, use and maintenance of a socialist organisation which may use it;
(c) used as a road auxiliary parcel for road economy purposes; or
(d) cancelled if none of the methods referred to in (a) to (c) can be used; in that case, they must be adequately and economically regenerated, depending on the nature of the case.
§ 8
Local communications networks
(to Section 21 of the Act)
(1) The local road network for the territory of the municipality consists of generally accessible and used infrastructure not included in the road network which:
(a) are located in a territory built or intended for continuous construction;
(b) connect two municipalities (settlements), or parts of the municipality (settlements near the establishments) or settlements, and are of transport significance for this connection;
(c) connect the municipality with the railway station, railway station, airport or port, provided that it does not serve primarily the operation or management of such facilities as special purpose communications;
(d) connect the village to the cemetery.
(2) The Local National Committee may include in the network of local communications special purpose communications which:
(a) connect the municipality with a road or local road; or
(b) make public public sites or recreational areas (e.g. ponds, tourist hotels, autocamping facilities, observation points).
(3) When deciding on the inclusion of dedicated communications in the local communications network, the local national committee shall base itself on the current situation and shall assess the effectiveness of the inclusion in accordance with local circumstances, in particular who maintains the communication, to what extent it is publicly used and how communicatively necessary for such use.
(4) The local national committee shall exclude local communications or part thereof from the local communications network if it is not needed for the purpose of the organisation of the network, in particular as a result of other investment construction or change of transport conditions, or if it is shown to serve exclusively as a purpose communication.
(5) The disabled local communication or part of it may be
(a) taken as a purpose communication to the administration, use and maintenance of a socialist organisation which may use it;
(b) used as a road auxiliary parcel; or
(c) cancelled if none of the methods referred to in (a) and (b) can be used; in that case, they must be adequately and economically regenerated, depending on the nature of the case.
(6) If, on a case-by-case basis, there are discrepancies as to whether the infrastructure or part thereof belongs to the local communications network or whether the communication is to be included in or excluded from the local communications network, the district national committee shall decide.
§ 9
Distribution of local communications
(to Section 21 of the Act)
Local national committees shall divide local communications into:
(a) local first-class communications, including major urban communications that meet technically all modes of transport (e.g. communications that also include public public transport, collection, outage and other particularly important urban communications);
(b) local II-class communications, including other urban and rural communications, provided that they are built and comply with all types of motor vehicle traffic (e.g. minor streets, main village communications);
(c) Class III local communications, including other local communications, where at least limited access to motor vehicles (e.g. routes) is available;

§ 14
Construction status and nature of motorways, roads and local roads
(k § 9 of the Act)
(1) The construction status of motorways, roads or local roads means their quality, degree of wear and surface, longitudinal or transverse waves, numerous discharges which cannot be removed by normal maintenance, loading capacity of road, bridges and passes and communication equipment in terms of traffic safety (transport signs and equipment, safety and protective equipment, etc.).
(2) The nature of motorways, roads or local roads means their technical characteristics (transverse arrangement, transverse slope and width of the road, directional arches, longitudinal inclination and circling radii of the nivelet, road type, etc.) and the integration of communication into the terrain (view, altitude, etc.).
§ 15
Protection of motorways, roads and local roads
(k § 10 of the Act)
Operators of production and construction sites and owners (users) of real estate in the vicinity of motorways, roads and local roads shall not jeopardise such communication and traffic on them, in particular:
(a) the extraction of timber and its launching on the slopes;
(b) the operation of saws and landfills;
(c) mining of stone, sand and clay;
(d) underground works;
(e) construction activities;
(f) agricultural activities;
(g) adjustments to watercourses and water interference.
§ 16
Road protection zones
(to Article 11 of the Act)
(1) Road protection zones shall be established for all motorways, roads and local roads of Class I and Class II outside the territory built or intended for continuous installation; protection zones shall be established within that territory in accordance with specific rules. *)
(2) The boundaries of the territory built or intended for continuous construction are derived from the territorial plans; otherwise it shall determine this border according to the actual state of the continuous construction of the district national committee after consultation of the local national committee on roads and the local national committee on local communications. In doing so, the National Committee shall take into account whether continuous construction is equally far from both sides of the communication or whether it is limited in whole or in part to one side; construction gaps up to 200 m generally do not interrupt continuous installation.
(3) The following shall be prohibited in road protection zones:
(a) to carry out construction and construction works requiring decisions on the admissibility of the construction, to place other objects (e.g. auxiliary buildings, portable buildings and stands, portable or mobile equipment, folding fences);
(b) make modifications on objects built before the road protection zone is designated and intended for gradual removal, which may prolong their service life (duration);
(c) to make land-based adjustments which would raise the terrain level to more than 50 cm above the road level or reduce it by more than 50 cm below the road level;
(d) establish roads and entrances to neighbouring properties without permission;
(e) to operate in forests in a manner contrary to principles agreed in advance with the authority to which the management of the communication concerned belongs pursuant to Article 4;
(f) it is also prohibited to plant or replant trees or shrubs and to cultivate cultures such as by increasing their growth, taking into account the level of the terrain, in the vicinity of the level intersections of roads with other roads and runways and on the inner side of the arc of roads with a radius of 500 m or less.
(4) The restrictions referred to in the preceding paragraph shall not apply to parts of motorways, roads and local roads, stop signs, public transport stations and waiting rooms, fuel stations, telecommunications and power lines, public measurement and mapping points, and to buildings and equipment serving the defence of the State, provided that they are located in such a way that they do not impair the safety and continuity of road traffic and do not impede the maintenance of communications.
(5) Exceptions to the restrictions referred to in paragraph 3 shall be granted by the authority to which the management of the communication concerned belongs pursuant to Article 4. The exemption may be granted only in justified cases and in so far as general interests, in particular transport interests, are not jeopardised. When authorising road exemptions, care should also be taken to ensure that the continuously built part of the municipality does not expand by building roads, so that road connections and land entrances are concentrated and located so that the continuous transport is minimally interrupted (i.e. in clear areas and in the smallest number) by turning to and leaving the land; If there is a radius of 500 m or less around the level crossings or the area on the inner side of the arc, only the position of an object which does not impair the view (e.g. a pillar or a mast) may be permitted.
(6) When granting exemptions, provision may be made for the owner (user) to remove the construction, plant or vegetation of the road protection zone whenever necessary in the general interest, without any claim for compensation. The amount of compensation under Paragraph 11 (3) of the Act shall be fixed mutatis mutandis under the expropriation rules.
(7) Where it is an activity in a road protection zone for which authorisation (consent) is also required under specific rules, such authorisation (consent) may not be granted, except in the cases referred to in paragraph 4, without granting an exemption from the restrictions in force in the road protection zones.
§ 17
Width of road protection zones
(to Article 11 of the Act)
(1) The border of road protection zones is determined by vertical surfaces on both sides of the road at a distance
(a) 100 m perpendicular to the axis of the adjacent motorway road;
(b) 25 m perpendicular to the centre of the road of Class I and Class II and to the local roads of Class I,
(c) 18 m perpendicular to the road axis of Class III roads;
