Dos and don'ts when traveling through Serbia

       Well, first thing you need to know is that when you arrive at national border of Republic Serbia is that the average waiting time is around half an hour, which is not that bad. Next, try to avoid pouring gasoline on first petrol station you see, because most likely petrol will be more expensive then on the next station on your road. My personal advice is that you check prices of petrol before going on a trip, because maybe some countries before Serbia have cheaper petrol. Roads in Serbia aren't that good, so you will encounter dozens of chuckholes on side roads until you reach some major city. Main streets in big cities are good, with good street lightning and they are spacious. The thing you need to be aware of are pedestrians, which don't really care about cars, whether they cross the street on zebra crossing or on any other part of the street. They will most likely swear you if you don't let them pass and you will find yourself wondering what's wrong with those people. Some of them will eventually hit your car, but don't get aroused, it's just the way people here function. 

       When you continue your journey to your next destination and you leave the city, you'll either exit on highway or motorway. In Serbia, there is 646 km of motorways and speedways. One of the most important corridors of Europe, corridor X, is entering Serbia in Horgoš, at state border with Hungary, it continues through Novi Sad, Belgrade, Niš and leaves Serbia at Preševo, border with Macedonia. That motorway is called E-75 and from Hungarian border till Belgrade is in a good shape, while on the other hand, from Belgrade to Niš is in some parts bumpy and undulating. You have a dinning restaurant at every 150 km and a petrol station at about 100 km along motorway. One of the most famous restaurants is "Predejane" which is located in the southeast of Serbia, between Niš and Vranje. 

      Next thing you need to know is about police officers and traffic rules. Speed limit on highway is 100 km/h and on motorway 120 km/h. There are radars and cameras that record if you are exceeding speed limit and there are also interceptors that will force you to stop your car in the stopping lane. Fines are between 5000 dinars up to 120000 or even jail.
