In 2008 I paid with cash there. I gave 1€ coin and I received 2kn back. The amount was 5kn. They accepted € but no eurocents.

Many banks will convert foreign currencies at a lower rate than the market rate.

Skoplje - Veles drive

[x-type]

this Despeñaperros section seems to be much cooler to drive that i thought! and it seems that it was recently repaved.

[Verso]

Yeah, I didn't think it was so winding.

[BND]

-да обезбедуваат движење на возилата со брзина од 120 км на час, а не
помала од 80 км на час;

However,



source: Ministry of Interior

another source indicates the speed limit was raised somewhere around 2008/2009.

And:

На јавен пат надвор од населено место, возачот не смее со возилото да
се движи со брзина поголема од:
- 130 километри/час на автопат

road safety law of 2012, article 38

[BND]

At the border, the sign with speed limits for different road categories told that the speed limit for motorways was 130 km/h. On the M1 though, all signs were for 120. So probably the general speed limit was raised to 130, and the old singns were not replaced yet

[eucitizen]

The new speed limit is just right after the border on the new section, then on the old one, as BND said, it is 120 and near the interchange with Skopje it is 100 due to bad conditionsof the surface.

Or maybe some sections are unsafe for 130kmh. We have similar situation here when our speed limit was raised to 140kmh.

[Verso]

So it's been 130 km/h for three or four years and we didn't know.

thanks for the video! I saw this famous split section for the first time.

[shpirtkosova]

I still wouldn't drive 130 just to be on the safe side.
