Traffic rules

Traffic rules Serbia and Montenegro

General:

Serbia and Montenegro have a well-developed road network totalling 50,000 kilometres, 18,000 kilometres of which are motorways alone. The latter are often subject to tolls. However, some of the country roads are in a rather poor condition and are characterised by narrow bends. Overtaking here is often announced by honking, which is, however, prohibited in residential areas.
Carrying fuel in canisters is prohibited, so fill up in good time.

Driving licence:

An international driver’s license is required in both states.

The 0.5 per mille limit applies in both Serbia and Montenegro.

Fine:

Alcohol behind the wheel: from 65 euros
Speeding: from 25 euros

Red light: from 65 euros
Overtaking ban disregarded: from 25 euros
