2. Motorway
A motorway is a road specially designed and signposted for motor traffic. Motorways normally have separate carriageways for opposing traffic, controlled access through designated entrances and exits, no direct access to neighbouring properties, and no level crossings with other roads, railways or paths.
Special traffic rules apply on motorways. The permitted road users, speed limits, lane rules, tolls and emergency procedures vary between countries, so drivers must follow the local traffic signs and regulations.

What speed limit applies to cars on a motorway in Serbia?
For an ordinary passenger car without a trailer, the general maximum is 130 km/h. Obey lower posted limits and reduce speed when traffic, weather or visibility requires it. Different limits can apply to other vehicle classes.
Should I expect tolls on Serbian motorways?
Yes, charged motorway sections use toll collection operated by Putevi Srbije. Check the operator’s current tariff for your journey and vehicle category; a motorway designation does not mean free travel.
Can I use electronic toll collection on Serbian motorways?
The motorway operator offers electronic toll collection using a TAG device. Obtain it through an authorised channel and check registration, payment and vehicle-category requirements before using an electronic lane.
