Capacity of rest area on D1 near Kozlov to triple

The Road and Motorway Directorate (ŘSD) plans to expand the Jamenský potok rest area at km 121 of the D1 near Kozlov. Currently there are 181 spaces on both sides; after expanding the left side toward Prague, capacity will rise to 705. The project has passed an environmental impact assessment (EIA). The left side will get three rows for trucks and three rows for cars, including electric vehicles, plus spaces for caravans and buses. Construction is expected to start no earlier than 2027, with completion no earlier than 2029.

How to turn an ordinary car into a sleeping space: tips for car campers

Car camping is popular for saving on accommodation and offering travel freedom. In the Czech Republic, sleeping in a car is allowed almost everywhere except private land and protected areas, but it is banned in Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Croatia. For comfort, experts recommend inflatable mattresses, window shades, and mosquito nets, along with safety measures: locked doors, no idling engine, and valuables out of sight.
