Prague Deputy Mayor Hřib presents measures to ease traffic congestion

Prague’s Deputy Mayor for Transport, Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates), outlined a package of measures aimed at improving traffic flow in the capital at a press conference on Wednesday. The city has recently come under heavy criticism for severe congestion and long traffic jams on key routes.

According to Hřib, four main steps could help the traffic situation: faster construction of roads, establishing clearer responsibility for road closures, prioritising the completion of the Prague Ring Road, and a better balance between car numbers and road capacity, potentially through low-emission zones.

Hřib will present the proposals to the City Assembly for approval on Thursday.
