Road toll to be collected on fast routes and main roads from January 1, 2025 – Price to be lower than on highways, there will be no barriers

The legal conditions for road toll collection on fast routes and main roads will be met on January 1, 2025, announced the minister of construction, transport and infrastructure of Serbia, Goran Vesic. He said for B92 that the legal conditions would meet when “enough” kilometers of fast routes were built.

He said that the Sabac-Loznica fast route (54 kilometers) would be completed not long after, then Iverak-Lajkovac (24 kilometers), 35 kilometers on the Danube Corridor, and that, in 2026, the Fruska Gora Corridor (28 kilometers) would be completed and that the construction of the “Serbia Smile”, from Backi breg to Srpska Crnja (186 kilometers) and the first phase of the fast route “Vozd Karadjordje” (80 kilometers) would start not long after.

The road toll for fast routes will be 80% of the value of the price of the road toll on highways, there will be no barriers, and the toll collection will instead be carried out through a modern system whose implementation is starting in Europe, whereby cars will be followed by satellites.

On certain main roads, as he said, road toll will be collected for freight trucks with a load capacity of over 7.5 or 9.5 tons, because the axle weight will be measured and the price will be determined that way, protecting the roads from being overloaded and destroyed.

Vesic said that, in 2024, road toll revenues of 43 to 45 billion dinars were expected, and that, once the road toll collection started on fast routes and main roads, that sum could double and there would be more money for the reconstruction and maintenance of the road network.

Electronic passport scanners will be installed this autumn at the Nikola Tesla Airport, according to Vesic, 16 on each side of the passage, and one such “automatic” passage replaces five policemen, he said.
