Serbian motorways

The motorways in Serbia (Serbian: Аутопут / Autoput) are the backbone of the road system in Serbia and important transit roads in Europe.

List of the motorways

Though the Serbian word for motorway is "autoput", the "A1", "A2" or "A3" road designations don't seem to be in use in the country. E-numeration is used instead.

Autoput, as well as avtopat or autocesta, avtocesta were names used for freeways in all republics of the former Yugoslavia: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and the Republic of Macedonia.

The common name stems from the highway across former Yugoslavia which was built during SFR Yugoslavia and was the first modern highway in these countries.

It designates a road where each direction has two lanes for general traffic and one emergency side-lane.

The name Autoput (Аутопут) continues to be used today in Serbia. Montenegro, whose language uses the same word, at present does not have a motorway within it though the main route from Podgorica to Nikšić is being considered for conversion, and some international maps mark this particular road as being an autoput (motorway).

The national speed limit on the freeway was 120 km/h accross Yugoslavia until 1992.
