Any realistic idea when the motorway from Niš to the Bulgarian border will be built?

[lindenthaler]

Here are routes from Belgrade to Niš and Preshevo to Niš

BEOGRAD - NIŠ


































































































































































































































































































































PREŠEVO - LESKOVAC BYPASS HIGHWAY (near to niš)

Nice pictures indeed. The traffic jam for the toll booth seemed to be quite chaotic. Do you often have to wait for the toll booths?

Not really, that toll both is gate to Belgrade, so in rush hour u have to wait maybe 15 min to pass through. But in the touristic saison when a lot of cars drive from northern and western to south and east and it s weekend it s easy possible to wait 30-40 min to pass it.

[Timon91]

40 mins for a toll booth? Is that only in Serbia or also in other parts of Europe (France?) I'm sorry I don't know, but the last toll booth I've seen was the one on the A4 in Poland, more than a year ago, and I never go to France or another country with toll booths.

As said 40 min is extreme only on weekends in tourist saison + rush hour. That happens only in summer Regulary, when it s not rush hour it takes max 5 min to pass through

This is how it looks like most of time

And that s how it looks like on very bad day combined rush hour and when holidays in Europe ends then rest of Western Europe travels back via that highway:

Ok, thanks for the info

Thanks for a few tons of interesting pics, idvd! It's an interesting motorway, no boring plains. I'm surprised to see foreign places only in their original forms, no Serbian translation/Cyrillic.

[Vrachar]

Those signs left from ex-YU times. By the new law all signange should be with Serbian translation/Cyrillic, like in your country (Reka/Rijeka, Celovec/Klagenfurt, ...).

Not quite original... they still didn't write in the Greek alphabet (which maybe was a pretty good idea).

But there are still plenty of old signs with Skoplje, Atina, etc.

I don't like the inconsistent signage for regular roads & so-called expressways (poluautoputevi - like the section near Vranje apparently) - they use a mish-mash of yellow and blue signs on both. The Croatian signage is a lot more consistent IMO.

Or Pulj/Pula/Pola. The best one would be Karlovec/Karlovac.

You're right, it should be Скопље-Skoplje/Скопје-Skopje, Софија-Sofija/София-Sofia, Атина-Atina/Αθήνα-Athina and Солун-Solun/Θεσσαλονίκη-Thessaloniki. =)

those are not original forms, those are english forms. original forms would be Sofija and Thessaloniki.

[Verso]

I see "Thessaloniki" on the signs, not "Salonica" or sth like that. As for "Sofia", it's the official transliteration of "София". "Sofija" is the Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian etc. version of it, but the more intl. version would be "Sofiya". As it looks quite retarded, and as "Sofia" sounds the same, it's the official transliteration, not just the English expression. Just ask Bulgarians.
