Belgrade, Serbia · Limited traffic zone
Official name Улице за пешачки саобраћај на територији града Београда – пешачке зоне
In force in Belgrade right nowTuesday, 13 October 2026 at 11:04 · Europe/Belgrade
The permitted hours — 00:00 to 24:00 for emergency intervention and for residents with a courtyard or garage space, 01:00 to 08:00 for communal maintenance, 05:00 to 08:00 for supply, money transport and removals — are deliberately not encoded as windows. They are conditions attached to an individual decision for a named vehicle on a named route, not a timetable that applies to everyone, and encoding them would tell an unpermitted driver the bollards drop at 05:00 when they do not.
This encoding says when the restriction is in force, not where you are. We do not hold the zone as geometry — the city draws it with street names — so the warning is at city level and a driver still has to read the street list in the area field or look for the signs and the bollards.
No weekday, weekend or public-holiday rule is encoded, because the decision names none. It designates streets and nothing else; Serbia has public holidays and this instrument does not mention one. Inventing an exemption would be worse than having none, and no Serbian holiday calendar is held in this corpus.
Supply into the zone is governed by a different instrument. Article 6 of this решење hands it to the city's decision on the traffic regime of freight vehicles, which is a separate record in this corpus, and the 05:00 to 08:00 window quoted in the hours field lives there rather than here.
Belgrade has a second, wider freight restriction that overlaps this one in space — a permit regime above 3.5 tonnes across the whole city, with an outright daytime ban on fifteen named street sections. A lorry in central Belgrade can be inside both at once, and neither one excuses the other.
Operating times only, read from the source below. It does not check your vehicle.
Belgrade's pedestrian zones are the strictest kind of restriction in this corpus and also the simplest to state: in the streets the city lists, only pedestrians may move. The instrument says so in one sentence — it designates streets or parts of streets in which traffic is permitted exclusively to pedestrians.
There is no charge for driving in, no emission class that buys you in, and no hour of the day when the rule lifts of its own accord. Everything that does move there moves on an individual decision, a решење, issued by the city's Secretariat for Traffic, and the decision names the access point and the route the vehicle must take inside the zone. The permits are few and they are listed.
Emergency intervention — ambulance, police, fire service, funeral services, the utility vehicles of public enterprises and tow trucks — may run at any hour, up to 3.5 tonnes. Communal maintenance by utility vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes runs from 01:00 to 08:00. Supply, the loading and unloading of money, and house removals run from 05:00 to 08:00.
Residents of the pedestrian zone who hold a parking space in a courtyard or a garage, and journeys carrying a person with a disability, may move at any hour — and those are the only two cases in which an ordinary car has business here at all, which is what a driver planning a route needs to know.
Two more permissions sit in the act itself: a passenger vehicle may be allowed in for a 'special need', which the act defines as reaching a parking space or garage the owner has a legal right to and as transporting a person with a disability, and the electric 'Врабац' shuttles with up to eight passenger seats plus the driver may carry citizens through.
Every one of those moves at walking pace, so as not to endanger pedestrians.
The zones themselves are five: the Кнез Михаилова street zone in the old centre, twenty-one streets and street sections; the Скадарска street zone, five; the Магистратски трг zone in Земун, four; a fifth zone at Трг Николе Пашића added in January 2025; and a list the act calls 'other streets', which is where the scheme has grown — eleven entries now, after amendments in April 2022, December 2025 and March 2026 added Далматинска, Рајићева, Добрице Ћосића and Сребрничка and renamed the Карађорђева passage.
Supply is the one part of the rule that is written somewhere else: the act hands it to the city's separate freight decision, which is a different record in this corpus. Two practical things a driver should carry away. A permit for the zone is not a sticker you buy at the barrier: the written request has to reach the Secretariat's counter in the preceding month, at the latest ten days before the month it is for.
And access is physically controlled — the holder collects a TAG sticker from the city parking undertaking for the windscreen, and a driver with a decision but no sticker calls the control-room operator on the intercom at the access point.
Град Београд — Градска управа, Секретаријат за саобраћај, Сектор за градску логистику, 'Одељење за послове градске логистике и имплементацију зона контролисаног приступа' — the department that actually implements these controlled-access zones and issues the decisions. Its page 'Издавање решења за улазак у пешачку зону' states, in the authority's own words, who may enter and between which hours, the 3.5-tonne ceiling, the access points of two of the zones, the one-month application deadline, both administrative fees, and the TAG sticker
There is no daily charge in this scheme, and the absence is the publisher's design rather than a gap in our reading. Belgrade does not sell a day's access to a pedestrian zone at any price: it charges a local administrative fee for an individual decision, and the tariff line is priced 'за текући месец' — for the current month.
The amounts are published twice over, by the city's gazette and by the issuing department, and the two agree to the dinar.
Тарифни број 5, точка 3 of the Одлука о локалним административним таксама, whose whole tariff schedule was replaced on 30 October 2025 and took effect on 1 January 2026, prices a 'Решење за снабдевање, утовар - истовар новца, селидбе, вршење неодложних комуналних интервенција у пешачкој зони, за текући месец' at 4,890.00 dinars, and the department states the same figure and adds the unit the tariff leaves implicit: per freight vehicle per month, one vehicle one fee, two vehicles two fees.
On top of it every application carries the general request fee of Тарифни број 1, точка 1 — 405.00 dinars — charged once per request, where one request may cover several vehicles. Dividing a month into days to produce a daily figure would be our arithmetic and not the city's, and it would mislead in both directions: a firm making one delivery pays the whole month, a firm making thirty pays it once.
One thing is deliberately not claimed here. The 4,890-dinar line names four activities — supply, the loading and unloading of money, removals, and urgent communal interventions — and a resident's permit for reaching a courtyard or garage parking space is not one of them.
The department publishes a separate application form for residents (образац 05) and prices no separate tariff line for it, so what a resident pays beyond the 405-dinar request fee is not something we have read, and we do not supply it. Not estimated: every figure above is read from the authority's own published tariff and repeated by the department that collects it.
The honest answer to 'when does this apply?' is: always. A pedestrian zone in Belgrade is closed to vehicle traffic at every hour of every day, and the act attaches no window to the prohibition — Article 1 designates streets in which traffic is permitted exclusively to pedestrians, full stop.
Every hour named below is a condition written into a permit, not a time when the street opens to everyone, and the two must not be confused. With a decision from the Secretariat for Traffic, and only up to 3.5 tonnes maximum permitted laden mass, the department publishes four sets of hours.
Emergency intervention — ambulance, police, fire service, funeral services, the utility vehicles of public enterprises and tow trucks — runs from 00:00 to 24:00. Communal maintenance by the vehicles of utility undertakings runs from 01:00 to 08:00, which is Article 2(1) of the act itself.
Supply, the loading and unloading of money, and removals run from 05:00 to 08:00; that window moved, and it moved recently — the city's separate freight decision, to which Article 6 of this act hands supply, set 06:00 to 09:00 from 2019 until an amendment published on 27 March 2026 replaced it with 05:00 to 08:00.
Residents of the zone who hold a parking space in a courtyard or a garage, and journeys carrying a person with a disability, run from 00:00 to 24:00. Outside the supply window a delivery may still be made, but not inside the zone: it is made from the specially marked supply bays on the edge of the pedestrian zone, which the city parking undertaking charges for.
Two further permissions in the act carry no clock at all and are governed by pace instead — a passenger vehicle admitted for a 'special need' under Article 3, and the electric 'Врабац' shuttles under Article 4, both of which must move at the speed of a walking pedestrian so as not to endanger anyone.
Article 2 as amended in 2022 also lets freight vehicles over 3.5 tonnes in for urgent infrastructure maintenance, on a special street-protection report and with the consent of the city's roads undertaking, and it sets no hour for that either. Nothing in the decision distinguishes a weekday from a weekend and nothing in it names a public holiday: the hours above run every day of the week.
Град Београд — Градска управа, Секретаријат за саобраћај: the implementing department's own page, which sets out the four permitted categories against their hours and states the 3.5-tonne ceiling. Held rather than the act alone because the act's own Article 6 sends supply to a different instrument, and this page is where the city states the consolidated result a driver actually meets
Five zones, all of them drawn as lists of street names rather than as a shape, and all inside the old core of Belgrade and of Земун.
The first is the Кнез Михаилова zone, twenty-one entries: Кнеза Михаила, Сремска, Маршала Бирјузова (from Космајски пролаз to Сремска), Космајски пролаз, Обилићев венац (from Царице Милице to Трг републике), Трг републике (from Васе Чарапића to Обилићев венац), Чика Љубина, Лазе Пачуа, Марка Лека, Змај Јовина (from Обилићев венац to Васе Чарапића), Вука Караџића (from Студентски трг to Чубрина), 1.300 каплара, Ускочко сокаче, Краља Петра (from number 10a to number 22), Рајићева (from Кнез Михаилова to Грачаничка), Цара Лазара (from Вука Караџића to Рајићева), Николе Спасића, Ускочка, Делијска, Ђуре Јакшића and Топличин венац (two sections).
The second is the Скадарска zone: Скадарска (from Булевар деспота Стефана to Цара Душана), Зетска, Симина (from Скадарска to Емилијана Јосимовића), Господар Јевремова (from number 56 to Скадарска) and Страхињића бана (from Скадарска to Француска).
The third is the Магистратски трг zone in Земун: Магистратски трг, Господска, Велики трг (from Господска to Змај Јовина) and Масариков трг (from the public car park to Господска).
The fourth, which the act calls 'Остале улице' — other streets — is where the scheme has actually grown, and it now holds eleven entries: Нушићева (from Теразије to Дечанска), Андрићев венац (from number 6 to Краља Милана), Рељина, Његошева (from Краља Милана to Светозара Марковића), Карађорђева (the passage from Милорада Екмечића 2 to Карађорђева 46) in Савски венац, Рајићева (from number 1 to number 3), Далматинска (the 'urban pocket'), Добрице Ћосића in Стари град, Сребрничка in Стари град, Кеј ослобођења (from Караматина upstream to the end) in Земун, and Карађорђева in Лазаревац.
Read that list against its history, because four of those eleven are recent: Далматинска arrived in April 2022 in the amendment that replaced the whole point, Рајићева and the renaming of the Карађорђева passage arrived in December 2025, and Добрице Ћосића and Сребрничка arrived in March 2026 and applied from the fifteenth of that month.
The fifth zone is the newest and the shortest: 'зона – Трг Николе Пашића', added as point 5 in January 2025 with no street breakdown at all. The city also publishes where you physically get in, which the act does not.
For the Кнез Михаилова zone the controlled access points are Лазе Пачуа–Васе Чарапића, Марка Лека–Васе Чарапића, Змај Јовина–Васе Чарапића, Вука Караџића–Студентски трг, 1300 каплара–Студентски трг, Грачаничка–Рајићева, Обилићев венац–Царице Милице, Маршала Бирјузова–Космајски пролаз, Топличин венац–Поп Лукина, Топличин венац–Чубрина, Симина–Емилијана Јосимовића and Ђуре Јакшића–Царице Милице; for the Скадарска zone they are Зетска–Цетињска, Скадарска–Цара Душана, Страхињића бана–Француска and Симина–Емилијана Јосимовића, and the department records that the Зетска–Цетињска entrance has only been available for applications since 14 October 2025.
The access points are not the zone: they are the doors in its edge, and a boundary drawn through them would be ours rather than the city's.
Службени лист града Београда, issue 73/2019 of 28 August 2019, pages 1–2 — 'Решење о одређивању улица за пешачки саобраћај на територији града Београда – пешачке зоне'. Article 1 is the street list in full, in four points; this is the base text that the later amendments edit rather than replace. Watched from cycle 108: the act's title and all four points of Article 1, so a renumbered or replaced street list is seen
There is no emission standard in this scheme for a petrol vehicle, because there is no emission standard in it at all, and that is measured rather than assumed.
The whole chain was read — the 2019 base decision and all six amendments — and the instrument reads two things off a vehicle and neither is its exhaust: whether it is a pedestrian or a vehicle, and, for the categories a permit can admit, whether its maximum permitted laden mass stays at or below 3.5 tonnes.
Euro class, year of first registration, fuel and emissions testing appear nowhere in the act, nowhere in the tariff that prices the permit, and nowhere on the issuing department's own procedure page.
No cleaner vehicle is admitted or priced differently from a dirtier one of the same weight doing the same job — unlike Budapest, which prices a comparable permit off a Euro grid, and unlike Sofia, which bans on an eco group. A petrol car is barred from these streets for being a car, and admitted, when it is admitted, for being a resident's or for carrying a person with a disability.
Not estimated: this is what the published text does not contain.
Nor a diesel standard, and for the same measured reason: the trigger is the street, not the fuel. Nothing in the decision, in its six amendments, in the local administrative tariff or in the Secretariat's published procedure separates diesel from petrol, sets a Euro floor, or asks for a smoke-opacity or emissions result.
What the act does separate are tasks — communal maintenance, emergency intervention, supply, money transport, removals, reaching a resident's garage, carrying a person with a disability, citizen transport by the electric shuttles — and each of those is a purpose, not an engine. Not estimated.
The city's decision sets no penalty of its own, and the national law that would carry one could not be read from here.
The instrument is a решење of the Secretariat for Traffic made under Articles 157 and 160 of the Закон о безбедности саобраћаја на путевима — the road traffic safety act, Службени гласник РС 41/09 and sixteen amendments, the newest of them 19/25 — and it closes with publication and application dates rather than with a sanction.
That is consistent with how the rule is built: the restriction is carried by traffic signs, by bollards and by an access-control system, and a fine for disobeying a sign sits in national legislation.
The place to read that legislation is the Правно-информациони систем РС, the republic's own legal register, and permission is not the obstacle — its robots.txt is sixty-seven bytes with two Allow rules and no Disallow at all.
The obstacle is form: every path on that host returns the same JavaScript shell whose only visible words are that the application does not work without JavaScript enabled, and the endpoint that serves a document text was not located. That is recorded as blocker B-066 and it is the same wall that leaves the city's freight record without a fine.
No amount, no range and no enforcing body has therefore been read from an official source, and none is supplied from memory or from a secondary site. Not estimated. What can be said, and is said in the how-to-comply notes, is that the administrative fees for the permit are published in full and are not a penalty.
Град Београд — Секретаријат за саобраћај, Сектор за градску логистику: the implementing department's own procedure, 'Поступак за добијање решења (одобрења) за приступ пешачкој зони'. Counter address, the one-month deadline, the document list, both administrative fees with the payment account and reference, the collection office, the TAG sticker and the issuing undertaking, the intercom fallback for permits under a month, and the two application forms
Службени лист града Београда, issue 73/2019 of 28 August 2019, pages 1–2 — 'Решење о одређивању улица за пешачки саобраћај на територији града Београда – пешачке зоне'. The base decision, made by the deputy head of the City Administration as secretary of the Secretariat for Traffic under Articles 157 and 160 of the Закон о безбедности саобраћаја and Articles 26 and 46 of the Одлука о Градској управи Града Београда, reference IV-02 344.1-15/2019. Nine articles: the street lists, communal maintenance 01:00–08:00, the 'special need' passenger vehicle at walking pace, the electric 'Врабац' shuttles, the permit in the form of a решење, the hand-off of supply to the freight decision, urban furniture, the repeal of its predecessor 66/17, and application from the first day from publication. Watched from cycle 108: the title and the four points of Article 1 — the Кнез Михаилова, Скадарска and Магистратски трг zones and the head of the 'other streets' list. The freight decision printed later in this same issue is deliberately not watched here: it is the instrument 98/2019 repealed
Службени лист града Београда, issue 98/2019 of 5 November 2019, page 3 — 'Решење о измени и допуни…', reference IV-02 344.1-18/2019. The first amendment: it replaces Article 2 in full, adding emergency intervention by public-enterprise, utility and tow-truck vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes at any hour with a yellow rotating light, and adding a route for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes doing urgent infrastructure work on a special street-protection report. Note that the city's freight decision was published on page 1 of this same issue; they are different instruments in one gazette. Watched from cycle 108: this amendment's title, its IV-02 344.1-18/2019 reference, the words that open the replacement of Article 2 in 73/19, the uncorrected 'Члан 3. мења се и гласи' that 110/2019 exists to correct, and the 01:00–08:00 communal-maintenance sentence this record publishes
Службени лист града Београда, issue 110/2019 of 21 November 2019, page 129 — 'Решење о исправци грешке…', reference IV-02 344.1-18/2019-1. A pure erratum, and it is held because skipping it produces a wrong reading rather than an incomplete one: it says that in Article 2 of the 98/2019 amendment, the words 'Члан 3. мења се и гласи: Члан 3.' are to read 'Члан 5. мења се и гласи: Члан 5.'. Without it a reader believes the permit article replaced was Article 3 — the 'special need' passenger vehicle — when it was Article 5, the article that says the Secretariat issues the permit at all. It takes legal effect from the date the 98/2019 amendment began to apply. Watched from cycle 108: the erratum's title from the contents page, the reference to 98/19, and the correction itself
Службени лист града Београда, issue 45/2022 of 19 April 2022, page 2 — 'Решење о измени и допуни…', reference IV-02 344.1-4/2022. It replaces point 4 of Article 1 in full — the 'other streets' list — adding Далматинска (урбани џеп); it rewrites Article 2(2) to drop the words 'without a permit of the Secretariat for Traffic' from the emergency-intervention paragraph; and it replaces Article 5 so that the permit requirement now covers Article 2 paragraphs 1, 2 and 4 rather than 1 and 4. Its preamble cites the chain as 73/19, 98/19 and 110/19. Watched from cycle 108: that chain, the IV-02 344.1-4/2022 reference, the Далматинска (урбани џеп) entry it adds, and the two articles it replaces
Службени лист града Београда, issue 1/2025 of 27 January 2025, page 12 — 'Решење о измени и допуни…'. One sentence and a whole new zone: it adds point 5 to Article 1, reading '5. зона – Трг Николе Пашића'. Its preamble cites the chain as 73/19, 98/19, 110/19 and 45/22. Watched from cycle 108: the title, that chain, and the single sentence that adds the Трг Николе Пашића zone
Службени лист града Београда, issue 97/2025 of 11 December 2025, page 1 — 'Решење о измени и допуни…', reference IV-02 344.1-13/2025. It replaces the fifth indent of point 4 — the Карађорђева passage is now measured from Милорада Екмечића 2 rather than from Травничка 2, the street having been renamed — and inserts a new sixth indent, Рајићева from number 1 to number 3, renumbering the rest. Its preamble cites the chain as 73/19, 98/19, 110/19, 45/22 and 1/25. A PDF the extractor reads only partially — 78 strings come from a font with no /ToUnicode map and are dropped — so nothing is watched here: the monitor answers `unwatched` for a partial PDF (D-163), and a string written here could never hold
Службени лист града Београда, issue 10/2026 of 9 March 2026, page 65 — 'Решење о допуни…', reference IV-02 344.1-6/2026. The newest amendment and the currency proof: an authority does not amend an instrument it has repealed. It inserts two new indents after indent 7 of point 4 — Добрице Ћосића – Стари град and Сребрничка – Стари град — and applies from 15 March 2026. Its preamble prints the whole chain the city considers in force, 73/19, 98/19, 110/19, 45/22, 1/25 and 97/25, which is how this record's chain checks itself. A PDF the extractor reads only partially — 78 strings come from a font with no /ToUnicode map and are dropped — so nothing is watched here: the monitor answers `unwatched` for a partial PDF (D-163), and a string written here could never hold
Службени лист града Београда, issue 82/2025 of 30 October 2025, page 2 — 'Одлука о измени Одлуке о локалним административним таксама', adopted by the Скупштина Града Београда. Article 2 replaces the entire tariff schedule of the 2024 fee decision and Article 3 brings it into force on 1 January 2026, which is why the amounts in this record are read from here and not from the 2024 base decision. Тарифни број 5 точка 3 is the pedestrian-zone decision at 4,890 dinars for the current month, and Тарифни број 1 точка 1 the 405-dinar request fee. Watched from cycle 108: the decision's title, both amounts on the row that names them — Тарифни број 5 точка 3 at 4,890 and Тарифни број 1 точка 1 at 405 — and the 1 January 2026 commencement. Until then the numbers this record publishes rested on a document nothing read
Службени лист града Београда — the gazette's own search over its whole archive, 2002 to date, which is the denominator for this instrument and the version pointer for this record. Its scope was measured before it was trusted, four ways. Positive control: this query returns the 2019 base decision and all six amendments with their issue numbers, dates and page numbers. Blind negative: 'zzqqxxyy' returns nothing. Body word: 'Врабац', which appears in Article 4 of the base decision and in no act title anywhere, returns nothing — so this index reads titles, not full text, and a negative from it says something about titles only. Archive freshness: the gazette's own 2026 archive page showed issue 77/2026 dated 4 September 2026, twelve days before this reading, so the claim that no seventh amendment exists is worth twelve days rather than nothing. For an amendment chain a title index is the right instrument, because every amendment repeats the parent title. The result count is what the monitor watches: a seventh amendment moves it off 22 and this record falls to draft
Град Београд — Градска управа, Секретаријат за саобраћај, Сектор за градску логистику, 'Одељење за послове градске логистике и имплементацију зона контролисаног приступа'. The department that implements the controlled-access zones and issues the decisions, describing its own procedure and its own permissions: who may enter and between which hours, the 3.5-tonne ceiling, the sixteen controlled access points of the two largest zones, the one-month deadline, the document list, both administrative fees with the payment account and reference, the TAG sticker from ЈКП 'Паркинг сервис', and the intercom fallback for permits under a month. Held as the second, independent publisher for the fee amounts, which it states to the dinar exactly as the gazette's tariff does, and as the proof that a 2019 decision is still operated — it names a change dated 14 October 2025 to the access points of the Скадарска zone
Next scheduled re-check: 2026-11-30.
A city can run more than one scheme, and they do not always answer the same question.
