Stojisavljević: Traffic is normal on all roads, but slowed
Zoran Stojisavljević, Executive Director of the Sector for Maintenance of First- and Second-Category Roads at Putevi Srbije, said today that traffic on all roads in Serbia is proceeding normally, but at a reduced speed, which he noted is typical for winter conditions. He added that the biggest problem is caused by drivers who do not respect speed limits recommended for conditions of snow and ice on the roadway.
Stojisavljević told Tanjug that road maintenance crews and machinery are fully engaged in the field.
“All roads are passable and traffic is proceeding according to regular conditions. There are no critical situations anywhere, but there is more snow from Kruševac toward Belgrade, from Despotovac toward Belgrade, in Vojvodina, Srem, western Serbia, Valjevo, and on Divčibare,” Stojisavljević said.
He noted that temperatures are extremely low, causing the falling snow to remain on the ground, and that the situation has been further complicated by freezing rain that fell two days ago, which formed an ice layer over which new snow has accumulated.
