According to the Czech map, presented by the national Auto-moto club organisation and assessing a total of 6,876km of Czech communications of all types, the most dangerous are the central Bohemian road connecting Prague with Kladno via Lidice, the Prague-Melnik-Ceska Lipa road north of Prague and the road leading from the Czech-Austrian border crossing Dolni Dvoriste northwards via Kaplice. It is the last mentioned road where the tragic accident of a coach occurred near the Nazidla village in 2003, claiming the lives of 19 people. Out of the 13 regions, the situation is the worst in the Ustecky (north Bohemia) and Plzensky (west Bohemia) regions where high-risk roads make up 40 percent of all communications, MfD and LN write. On the other hand, the safest roads are in the other north Bohemian region, Liberecky, where the proportion of dangerous communications stands below 20 percent. The map does not assess the situation in Prague. It shows that there are only few clearly safe roads in the Czech Republic, the dailies write.
