November is a busy month for Prague, and with several upgrades happening across the city, roads and public transport are experiencing extra traffic. While this makes travel a bit slower, it also signals major long-term improvements that will benefit commuters, residents, and visitors.

What’s Happening on Prague’s Roads

1. A Growing and Active City

Prague continues to grow, with more people commuting for work, school, and leisure. This naturally increases movement across the city, making November one of the most active travel months of the year.

2. Road and Transport Upgrades Underway

Multiple construction and repair projects are happening simultaneously to improve long-term safety, smoother roads, and better connectivity. These upgrades will make future travel faster and more comfortable.

3. Shift Toward Smarter Mobility

City officials are encouraging modern mobility habits like shared transport and public transit. With car occupancy averaging 1.3 people, Prague is promoting more efficient ways to travel.

Positive Changes Coming to Prague’s Transport Network

1. Six New Tram Lines Being Developed

Prague is expanding its tram network, ensuring better accessibility across districts. New lines will connect:

• Jarov

• Strahov

• Nové Dvory

2. Faster Travel Through the City Centre by 2027

A major new tram route through Wenceslas Square and the Museum area will make central travel smoother. Commuters can expect journeys to be 5–10 minutes faster on several routes.

3. More Walkable and Connected Neighbourhoods

Developments like the Dvorecký Bridge will make walking between Prague 4 and Prague 5 easier, while also easing pressure on Barrandov Bridge.

How to Make Your Travel Easier This Season

Choose the Best Times to Drive

For smoother travel:

• Opt for Monday late morning (10 a.m.–1 p.m.)

• Or Friday around noon

Times to Avoid

Congestion is highest:

• Tuesday to Thursday, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Use Public Transport or Walk Short Distances

Trams and metros often move faster than cars during busy hours. In areas like Želivského, walking is currently the quickest option because of nearby repair works.

Looking Ahead

Prague is investing heavily in its transport future. While November sees extra traffic due to ongoing improvements, these upgrades will soon create a smoother, faster, and more connected travel experience for everyone.
