School Holiday Ends as Serbia Braces for a Weekend Traffic Surge
The Roads of Serbia public company warned that traffic is expected to intensify across the country on November 14–15, when the autumn school holiday comes to an end. The forecast applies to all major road routes, with drivers likely to face busier conditions as families return home.

Ahead of the weekend, the authority urged motorists to check road conditions before setting out. Drivers were advised to review information about roadworks, temporary traffic changes and other restrictions along their planned routes. Real-time updates are available through the Roads of Serbia website and its official social-media accounts.

The guidance does not identify one specific route as the source of the expected congestion. Instead, it presents the increase as a nationwide consequence of the holiday ending and asks road users to plan accordingly.

The authority also called on drivers to obey traffic signs and speed limits, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and adapt their driving to road and weather conditions. The stated aim is to reduce risks for both motorists and other road users during the busier period.

The warning comes before the peak travel period, giving drivers time to check restrictions and allow for delays. Roads of Serbia repeated that staying informed before departure and driving cautiously will be particularly important throughout the weekend.
