It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
In most cases hitchhiking there is quite easy. Czech Republic is a transit country with a dense traffic on the its main roads. Along with the native local drivers you can find there many drivers (especially truck drivers) from near-by nearby countries. Local truck drivers are really friendly; young private car drivers often take two hitchhikers at a time, and many experiences show that Czechs understand hitchhiking excellently and often take hitchhikers several kms out of their route just to bring them closer to a better hitchhiking spot or their final destination. That works both for good and bad weather conditions. Older drivers usually speak only Czech, sometimes some Russian and more seldom German. Younger drivers usually have at least a basic level of English. There is an assumption that for a young couple or two girls hitchhiking might go easier.
'''Hitchhiking directly on motorways and expressways is not allowed on highways and motorways - see map below'''; pedestrians are not permitted to walk on these roads for safety reasons. When using motorways for Thus hitchhiking please use gas typically involves standing on onramps or at petrol stations (service stations) where on the motorway. While it is not suggested that one can ask for hitchhike on highways, actual confrontations with police are rare, and in the unlikely event that a ride. Hitchhikers aren't protected by police car does stop, it is best to be polite and feign ignorance of the driver's [[insurance]]rules, and they will usually not give you a fine.
When hitchhiking on regional roads make sure you are at a spot that is perfectly visible to the drivers - in summertime there are many over-speeding motorcycle drivers.
