Imagine this: you’re driving on the highway, no police patrols, no radars lurking on the side, yet your speed is being measured and punished! Welcome to Serbia in 2024, where a revolutionary average speed measurement system has been introduced on the country’s most important roads. The system works fully automatically, with no need for traffic police presence or traditional radars. Cameras are installed at 62 locations, 31 in each direction, on key highway sections connecting the biggest cities. How does it work? The system measures the time it takes a vehicle to travel the distance between two points. If you’re too fast, the fine comes straight to your home address – no stopping, no face-to-face with a cop.
This system isn’t just a tech gimmick; it’s a serious blow to reckless driving that has endangered lives for years. The penalties are tough and depend on how much you exceeded the speed limit – from fines, penalty points, driving bans, to even jail time in the worst cases. And don’t fool yourself thinking you’ll get away if you don’t see a patrol – the cameras track you and calculate your average speed automatically.
The camera locations cover routes to and from Belgrade, including places like Mali Požarevac, Smederevo, Niš, Subotica, Novi Sad, Čačak, and many more. The goal is clear: reduce the number of speed-related accidents and increase safety for everyone on the road.
Is this the end for those who think highways are race tracks? Looks like it. But of course, there will always be those trying to cheat the system or pretend they don’t know the rules. So, dear drivers, better get used to this new reality. Respect speed limits – not just because of fines, but for your life and the safety of all of us on the road.
And now, as you drive and think about this new system, take a peek at the comments – do you think this is the right move or too harsh? Maybe your story about encountering this system will go viral! Just don’t speed too much while you’re at it.
