Laws
It is mandatory to have headlights turned on at all times when driving in the Czech Republic and those caught not using them will receive a fine.
Highways in the Czech Republic used to be divided into two groups: Dálnice and Rychlostní silnice. The Rychlostní silnice designation was abolished at the end of 2015, and the signs for the two Rychlostní silnice in the game were updated half a year later. ETS2 now features sevenDálnice.
The icon for D4 also appears in the game, but it's for the same-numberedSlovakDiaľnica. The corresponding Czech Dálnice was still a Rychlostní silnice when the game was released, and was not featured in the game. However, after road icons were updated on the world map, this icon was rendered obsolete and is no longer present in-game, although its files still remain.
The Czech Republic also uses the Class I. road designation (Czech: silnice I. třídy), intended for long-distance roads which facilitate interstate and cross-border traffic. ETS2 has 9 Czech Class I. roads marked in-game, all of which are minor roads which generally carry truckers from the country's core to one of the neighboring nations.
In-game, there are six Class-A and three Class-B Euroroutes (Czech: Evropská silnice) which run through the Czech Republic. The E48, although being present in the game files, is not currently signed on the world map or in-game.
