Hellish Traffic Jams at Serbia’s Borders: Trucks Waiting Up to Four Hours!
If you thought border traffic jams were just a myth, it’s time to face reality! Trucks at the Serbia exit border crossing Batrovci are waiting up to four hours! Yes, you read that right — FOUR HOURS! And that’s not all — at Kelebija and Šid, trucks wait three hours, while at Sremska Rača the wait is somewhat better but still a painful two hours.
Passenger Cars? No Delays!
Unlike trucks, passenger vehicles pass through these crossings without delays. But is that any consolation for truck drivers stuck in line for hours? Of course not. These jams waste not only time but money, and the economic damage is huge.
Why Is This Happening?
Official sources like AMSS and the Border Police confirm these facts but offer no concrete solutions. Is the problem a shortage of customs officers? Poor organization? Or increased traffic volume? These are questions drivers and carriers are desperate to have answered.
Toll Stations? No Delays!
It’s good to know that toll stations have no vehicle delays, meaning the problem is solely at the borders. But how long will this last? And how many more drivers will suffer from this issue?
Economy on Hold
Trucks are the lifeblood of any economy. When trucks stand still, goods are delayed, causing losses for businesses and consumers. Four hours of waiting at Batrovci can trigger a chain reaction of supply chain problems. Just imagine how much money is lost in a single day!
What Do Drivers Say?
Though no direct quotes are given, frustration is obvious. Waiting in line without clear information or solutions can lead to stress, fatigue, and road dangers.
Will Anything Change?
For now, there’s no sign of improvement soon. Drivers and carriers can only hope authorities find a fix before the problem turns catastrophic.
Conclusion
If you plan to cross Serbia’s border, especially as a truck driver, prepare for waiting. Four hours at Batrovci, three at Kelebija and Šid, two at Sremska Rača — these are not numbers to ignore.
