No. Lane splitting remains illegal in the Czech Republic under the Road Traffic Act (No. 361/2000 Coll.), with no legislative amendments permitting it as of 2026. The Ministry of Transport has repeatedly rejected proposals to legalize the practice, citing safety risks and infrastructure limitations. Police enforcement targets lane splitting as a traffic violation, punishable by fines up to CZK 2,500 (€100).
