In view of the current or prospective studies for nationwide concepts (spatial development policy of the Czech Republic), a comparison among the Czech Republic and a few countries of similar area or population is worthwhile. Countries selected to make such comparison were Hungary, Belgium, Bavaria (a German Bundesland) and Lombardy (an Italian Regione). Hungary and Bavaria are of almost the same areas and populations as the Czech Republic; Belgium and Lombardy are populated approximately 10 million as well, though on much smaller areas, belonging thus to the most densely inhabited regions of Europe.
VÝZNAM DÁLNICE D1 V OSÍDLENÍ A DOPRAVNÍ INFRASTRUKTUŘE ČESKÉ REPUBLIKYThe Importance of the D1 Motorway for the Habitation and Transport Infrastructure of the Czech Republic, by Milan Körner
The day of 2 June 2005 witnessed probably the largest collapse in the Czech transportation network ever. On the D1 motorway, some 50 kilometres south-east of Prague, a truck accident stopped the traffic for more than eight hours, creating a fleet of some 13 kilometres. On the same day and the same motorway, a series of accidents between Jihlava and Brno caused other hold-ups. The estimated losses through the time the drivers and passengers had to spent in the holdups were at about 30 million crowns. The overall loss including delayed deliveries in production and services, cancelled negotiations and so forth, was undoubtedly much higher. Such breakdown, surely not the first nor the last to happen, has instigated a large debate on the solution of the problems of the D1. Apart from absurd ideas such as the widening of the motorway by another lane in both directions, one positive result may be seen in the consensus on the necessity to speed up the construction of the most important of the missing stretches in the would-be-network of Czech motorways, that between Poděbrady and Mohelnice. This indicates a substantial shift from the focus on regional interests to a conceptual solution.
SITUACE NA D1 JE NEUDRŽITELNÁ, JE TŘEBA NAJÍT URYCHLENĚ ŘEŠENÍA Solution to the Hopeless D1 Must Be Found Urgently, by Radko Martínek
The constructions of the D11 motorway (Prague—Hradec Králové—Trutnov—Polish border) and the R35 trunk road (Polish border—Liberec—Turnov—Hradec Králové—Česká Třebová—Mohelnice—Olomouc—Lipník nad Bečvou) are immensely important on a nation-wide scale, as they constitute an alternative to the D1 motorway (Prague—Brno — Vyškov — Lipník nad Bečvou) which is now far beyond its capacity. An urgent solution is to be found, as the author of this contribution has been pointing out for five years now: sad to say, if the Region of Pardubice cannot promptly ratify a feasible routing of the R35 trunk road, the project of the widening of the D1 might win. This, in fact, would mean constructing a new road, requiring very high investments and suspending thus the R35 for another couple of years.
