Motorways in Serbia are called auto-put (Serbian Cyrillic: ауто-пут), a name which simply means car-road. Roads that are motorways are categorized as state roads of IA category and are marked with one or two digit numbers. Motorways in Serbia have three lanes in each direction (including hard shoulder), signs are white-on-green, and the normal speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph) (since June 2018). They are maintained and operated by the national road operator company JP "Putevi Srbije" ("Roads of Serbia").

As of May 2024, there are 1,072 km (666 mi) of motorways in service (excluding Kosovo).[1]

List of motorways

As the Serbian word for motorway is "autoput", the "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4" and "A5" road designations are used since 2013.[2] After a revision in October 2023, 4 new motorway signs have been added: "A6", "A7", "A8" and "A9".[3]

As of March 2024, the government of Serbia had passed newly revisioned regulation, adding planned A10, A11, A12, motorway routes. A separate I class 'Expressway' designation, with prefix 'M' (Мотопут/Motoput) had been defined.[4]
