I could talk about myself for ages, or I could point out that https://english.radio.cz/ed-ley-englishman-recording-stories-pragues-streets-one-one-8806941 is over two years old but still largely stands (other than the Twitter links).

Prague 4, day 401: Za pruhy

Za pruhy was built in 1938.

‘Pruhy’ are ‘strips’, ‘bands’, or ‘lanes’. In this case, the street is named after the kind of strips that you will find in, or separating, individual fields.

We’re not far from Braník here, and we’re next to a main road that is also named after a ‘pruh’: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/10/22/prague-4-day-206-zeleny-pruh/.
