Prague before Easter – Prague congested. In the morning, during the day and in the early evening
The fact that many people plan holidays according to school holidays certainly played a role. Prague was totally congested on Wednesday afternoon as well. “That’s horrible; one just jumps here, “Martin Novák told Deník from the car standing on Radlická.
The number of accidents has not increased dramatically
“Plzeňská is not much better, as the drivers are trying to get to Mrázovka somehow,” he reminded a little later and actually named the situation characteristic of the whole capital: many of the drivers who got stuck on their route tried to look for alternatives, so they blocked even possible bypasses. And, for example, the exit from the metropolis on the D1 motorway in the early evening further complicated the accident at the 12th kilometer, in front of which the drivers stood in the columns for a good half hour.
However, the number of accidents police officers very heavy traffic, which forced the regulation of traffic in tunnels, does not mean a dramatically increased. In addition, most of the crashes brought only crumpled sheets and a possible further worsening of traffic complications – although even rescuers were not left without work. Already in the morning, for example, they helped a downed pedestrian or a biker.
Rainy weather traditionally means a rush in Prague
However, the hurried people did not just overcrowd the roads and streets. Unexpectedly, it was also full in public transport. “And that’s what I thought people would pull out of tin umbrellas,” Jiřina Sládečková sighed as she switched from a crowded metro to a crowded tram at IP Pavlova. However, this time it was also full of public transport.
A similar situation can be expected for Thursday
After all – the transport company also drew attention to the delays of buses. Even in places where restrictions do not apply due to road reconstructions. Reason? Strong individual transport. In other words: too many cars on the streets and associated convoys. In Prague, travel was so massive that it was not without delay.
A similar situation can be expected for Thursday – and for the beginning of next week in the period of the return from Easter as it were. It could help to plan your journeys when times should be free on the roads – and still have enough time to be safe so that drivers and their passengers do not have to stress unnecessarily in the car. Strong nerves and patience are gradually becoming part of the mandatory equipment of every motorist…
