'''Hitchhiking is not allowed at highways == Border crossing ==Czech Republic and motorways - see map'''. There is best to ask somebody at gas station or service station. Hitchhiker isnt protected by drivers insurance. Be sure you all neighbouring countries are at transparent place - in summer Schengen members, so there are many speeding mad motorcycle drivers in no regular border controls any more, though German police often check the documents and backpacks of hitchhikers near the Czech Republicborder. Some border crossings remain good places to get an onward lift.

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 dense traffic on its main roads. Along with the local drivers you can find there many drivers (especially truck drivers) from nearby countries. Older drivers usually speak only Czech, sometimes some Russian and more seldom German. Younger drivers usually have at least a basic level of English. '''Hitchhiking directly on motorways and expressways is not allowed'''; pedestrians are not permitted to walk on these roads for safety reasons. Thus hitchhiking typically involves standing on onramps or at petrol stations on the motorway. While it is not suggested that one hitchhike on highways, actual confrontations with police are rare, and in the unlikely event that a police car does stop, it is best to be polite and feign ignorance of the 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 speeding motorcycle drivers.
