Hello, I would like to know if there is a driver's manual or reference guide in english that includes the traffic/road signs and their meaning. I think that are the same signs that the other european countries, but we are americans and the signs are differents! thanks...
I found good web about it, but it is in czech only: http://www.zakruta.cz/dopravni-znaceni/ So, look at them, and just post a code or link of those you do not know, and we will try to explain you.
Here is description of few most important European traffic signs: http://www.ideamerge.com/motoeuropa/roadsigns/
I like the second one - "you are about to run into a stack of lumber" :wink: Never would have guessed mlha (fog).
Is it necessary to have an international or Czech driver's license? Or does Czech police acknowledge American drivers licenses?
If you have permanent residence (trvaly pobyt) you are required to get a Czech license. Americans cannot just exchange their license for a Czech one. If you have any other visa, you can get by with your American license PLUS the international license (available from any AAA branch in the US, or by mail - costs $10). But technically you can't get by with just your American license.
Thanks for the info, Jen. Very helpful. I did the research on the International Driving Permit. Apparently one can send away for it from abroad through AAA. The fee is now $15. More info can be found on any DMV (Dept. of Motor Vehicles) or AAA website.
