Prague plans to introduce fee for non-resident car journeys in city centre

Prague is planning to introduce a charge for non-residents travelling by car in the historic city centre and to limit visitor parking there, the Czech News Agency reports. The aim is to discourage unnecessary journeys through the centre in order to decrease traffic. The deputy mayor for transport, Zdeněk Hřib, and the mayor of Prague 1, Terezie Radoměřská, said at a debate on transport on Wednesday evening that the measure could come into effect at the beginning of next year.
