The article deals with the problem of passage of excessive transports on the roads and ensuring the necessary height and width parameters for this transport in the Czech Republic. Currently is lack of regulations for the design of communications for transit of excessive and oversized cargo in the Czech Republic. On the basis of these aspects the research in this area was carried out and the parameters were set to ensure the passage of excessive loads on the road. The article describes the issue of transportation in the Czech Republic, created database of transports with its resulting statistical analysis. It also describes the procedure for determining the resulting parameters, which should serve as a basis for the legislation and technical conditions.
