1. Pedestrian zone
A pedestrian zone is an area consisting of one or more streets that are reserved primarily for pedestrians. Motor-vehicle access is normally prohibited or restricted to authorised users, particular purposes or specified times.
Pedestrians may usually use the full width of the available road space. Rules concerning cyclists, deliveries, public transport, vehicle speed, stopping and parking depend on local traffic signs and regulations.
How should I recognise pedestrian-only access in Serbia?
The official term is pešačka zona. It is a signed part of a road, street or settlement primarily intended for pedestrians. The municipality or city may authorise specified vehicle traffic during particular periods.

May cyclists ride in pedestrian areas in Serbia?
Read the local access controls before riding. The Law also provides child-cycling age exceptions in pedestrian zones: children aged nine to eleven may qualify despite the ordinary public-road minimum age, and children under nine must be supervised by a person older than sixteen. These age provisions do not replace local admission controls. Vehicle traffic authorised under the pedestrian-zone provision must travel at walking speed without endangering pedestrians.
Which rules apply to vehicles admitted to pedestrian areas in Serbia?
The competent authority may permit specified vehicles during a defined period, at walking speed without endangering pedestrians. A pedestrian zone is distinct from the separate 10 km/h slow-traffic zone.
