1. Speed bump
A speed bump is a raised traffic-calming device placed across all or part of a road to make drivers reduce their speed. It is commonly used near homes, schools, crossings, parking areas and other places where low vehicle speeds are important.
Speed bumps vary in shape, height and legal status. Drivers should approach them at a low, controlled speed and follow any warning signs or speed limits that apply.
How should I recognise and approach a speed bump in Serbia?
Look for a raised surface, approach warnings, road markings and any separate speed instruction. A traffic-calming device can be part of a raised crossing or junction, so identify the layout and the road users who may use it.

Which speed should I use at a raised device in Serbia?
Obey the applicable speed restriction and slow further for the device, visibility and other road users. Do not assume that a raised device carries the same numerical rule as one in another country; a safe approach can be well below the road’s maximum.

Does a raised road surface give pedestrians priority in Serbia?
At an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing in Serbia, adjust speed so that you can safely give way to a pedestrian already on it, entering it or showing an intention to enter it. The Act requires a stop for specified vulnerable pedestrians, including children, frail people, blind people using a white cane or guide dog, and people using wheelchairs or other specified mobility aids. Follow signals or police directions where present.
