If we count motorways build after 1990 I can say from this year Poland and Czech Rep is almost equal when you correlate number of kilometres with population (I correlate with population becasue it determines number of tax payers , fund from taxes and number of cars)
If we count all motorways total including all of them build in 70s 80s then Czech total lenght/population is 50% more.
So in general you exactly saying Czechs network is 50% longer (50% x 50% = 75%)
The big disadvantage is that motorways build before 1990 needs general reconstruction
So it`s surprising number that the difference between PL and CZ was created in comunism and after 25 years is still the same
The difference is Czech have some old motorways , well stil think that it`s better to have them
In 4 years Poland should be much closer to CZ level because even if RSD starts to to work better , the results will be seen in 6 years
The inner city ring tunnel Blanka in Prague won't open in December. The opening is now scheduled to spring.

ŘSD reports they have repaired almost 90 kilometers of motorway in 2014, the highest ever. Total cost was around € 44 million. Most repairs were on D1 and D2 (see table in the press release).

They said that the test has to go for 55 days and they started i think 10 days ago cca.
But 55 days of testing should be finished in january so why do they want to open it at the end of March, beginning of April? I can understand they need some time to repair if something goes wrong, but it is quite a long time reserve.

Between Vienna and Brno the road ranges from a nice motorway near Vienna and near Brno to a dreadful little 1x2 roads running through villages. On the Austrian side, most of the bad road will be replaced by a new motorway over the next few years.
I have not driven between Prague and Linz.

...info from my last year trip...
...Linz (A7 highway) - to Unterweitersdorf - (road 310/ czech 3) to Ceske Budejovice is apsolutely correct (nature is wonderful)...if you have time you must visit Cesky Krumlov, castle Hluboka (nad Vltavou) near C. Budejovice, castle Cervena Lhota near Sobeslav and Jindrichuv Hradec (wonderful 1x1 roads for this small roud trip - if you have time)...Veseli nad Luznici - Tabor - Mezno is highway...after that road to Mirosovice is 1x1 is in good condition...after that A1 to Prague...
...also, if you have time, on the way Wien - Brno you can visit Mikulov castle (E461) and castle Lednice (E40-E422) - A2 to Brno...

To be more precise, from Brno to Pohorelice (ca half of the way on the Czech side) it's a motorway, then it's a 1x1 road going through one town Mikulov. You can expect traffic jams on the Austrian side in Poysdorf with it's famous traffic lights. Still I wouldn't say the road is dreadful. It's rather wide and safe.
One lane shared by both directions of traffic? I've driven it a few times and I don't remember any 1x1 sections. About half the trip is on 1x2 roads.

No, one lane in each direction. 1x1.
One lane in each direction is either 1x2 or 2x1 depending on whether or not there is a separation barrier. 1x1 is one lane (either one way traffic only or shared by both directions).

I don't know if this was already written here..probably not.
So, on 4th December 2014 Ing. Dan Ťok was appointed as Minister of Transport. He is the ninth MoT since 2009.:nuts:
And from tommorow we'll also have a new general director of the ŘSD(Roads and Motorways Directorate), Jan Kroupa(fifth this year). He's a former director of ŘSD's Prague branch. He also said that the biggest priority is to finish the Prague Ring between D1 and D11 so we'll see..

- Were motorways in communist Checoslovaquia so bad? It had tolls?
I know that communist government wasn't very efficient, but how bad were quality of motorways?
- Is government to develop in near future a motorway or expressway between Jihlava and Austrian border? Is the fastest route between Prague and Vienna seeing map.
I don't understand why in 2014 Prague and Vienna are not connected by a motorway considering that 25 years have passed since the fall of communism and ten since the accesion of Czech Republic to EU.
