Plants registered as alien species were evaluated also according to invasive status, level of abundance, introduction mode and land use habitat. Study localities (9 sites) were situated in the Českomoravská highlands and the South Bohemian regions (Czech Republic). The plant species were recorded in the bands (width in range of 1.5 - 3.0 m) along the verge of two types of roads (motorways with median stripes) and secondary roads (II and III classes); in total length of about 15 km and the total area of road–side vegetation of about 8 ha.
