When a new road is built (generally D or R) in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia), the number of the old road is increased by 600. There has always been one exception to this: route 602 runs approximately parallel to the D1 as you can see in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) roads map. However, originally this was route 2. Recent changes violate this system. For example, the section of route 5 west of Plzen was replaced by 501 instead of 605, possibly because it is not linked to the rest of 605, though this should only be a temporary situation (until the D5 is completed). The motorways in the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia), Czech: dálnice (abbr. D), are defined as two-lane motorways in each direction, with emergency lane. The speed limit is 130 km/h or 80mph. Their road signs are white on red. The expressways in the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia), Czech: Rychlostní silnice (abbr. R), are defined as dual carriageways with no emergency lane. The speed limit is 130 km/h or 80 mph. Their road signs are white on blue.

Routes 1-12 in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) are the main arterial roads from Praha. Other main roads have numbers 13-99. So far, the only motorways are the D1, D2, D3, D5, D8, D11 and D35 as its shown in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) roads map. All these roads are European routes. D, R and national roads form one integrated system. For example, route 35 begins as just '35' in Liberec, it is the R35 between Mohelnice and Olomouc, there it is 35 again, then it continues as D35, and the last section is 35 again. There is one exception: the D2 is independent of the (new) route 2. Disregarding the new route 2, routes 1-12 form a spiderweb with centre Praha. Route 1 is the D1 to the east (it will continue to the Polish border in future), the D2 branches off the D1 at Brno (towards Bratislava), and route 3 branches off the D1 towards Linz in Austria. Numbers increase further in clockwise direction. Route 12 is to the east.

Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) roads with 1- and 2-digit numbers are known as First class roads (silnice I. trída), 3-digit numbers as Second class roads (silnice II. trída) and local roads with 4- or 5-digit numbers as Third class roads (silnice III. trída) as its mentioned in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) roads map. Exit numbers are derived from kilometer values, except for the first exit which always has number 1 instead of 0. Ring roads appear only in Praha, Brno, Hradec Kralové and Ostrava. Local road numbers sometimes have one or more trailing zeroes, e.g. 00317. In the Czech republic, D, R and other roads formed an integrated system. The 'add 600' rule was applied. In Slovakia, routes x and Dx could be parallel, though there was a D1 of which sections existed though there was no route 1. This system was retained until 1997, when numbers in the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) were replaced by numbers that also exist in Slovakia (59 - 70). Many other numbers were also changed.

Highways in the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) are no longer divided into motorways and expressways as the category of expressways (rychlostní silnice) has been abolished by 31 December 2015. Most of expressways were classified as fully fledged motorways, while some sections of the former expressways were suspended to common dual carriageway roads with a traffic sign of a road for motorcars (silnice pro motorová vozidla) whose speed limit is of up to 110 km/h, as they do not comply with the standards of motorway as you can see in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) highway map. This concerned especially the expressway R35 between Liberec and Turnov which has been classified as of 1 January 2016 as a road for motorcars (with a speed limit of up to 130 km/h).

The Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) dual carriageways of motorways and expressways are managed by the state-owned Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic - RSD, established in 1997. The first modern highways in the Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) was the motorway from Prague to the Slovak border through Brno whose construction was started on May 2, 1939. RSD is currently managing and maintaining 690.5 km of motorways (dálnice) and 359.7 km of expressways (rychlostní silnice) as its shown in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) highway map. In Czechoslovakia, there was a grand plan to connect the three most important cities Praha, Brno and Bratislava with one highway.

The Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) highway D1 leads from Praha through Brno all the way to Přerov, a decently big town. And there, about two kilometres before Přerov, it ends. The continuation is from Lipník nad Bečvou, to Ostrava, then Bohumín, then to the A1 highway in Poland as its mentioned in Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) highway map. (According to what I found, from Přerov to Lipník there is a highway already opened recently. But it sure is not used much. If you want to drive from Praha to Ostrava, you detour through Olomouc so you drive all the way on highways and speedways.) The missing part bypassing Přerov is less than 15 km. Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia) has around 1350km highways - makes that there are highways that connect all the major and middle-sized towns.
