List of motorways and expressways in Kosovo

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

The motorway and expressway network in Kosovo is one of the youngest in Europe and is currently under construction. Because of the Kosovo war and the subsequent UNMIK administration , little money was invested in maintaining and expanding the road system in Kosovo. Only after independence from Serbia did the Kosovar government develop concrete plans for the expansion of the road system.

numbering

National roads

Signs for the M-25

The Kosovar expressways or highway-like roads are numbered with the letter M (for Magjistralja , in German Magistralstrasse ) followed by a hyphen and a one or two-digit number. Examples: M-9 or M-25 .

So far, the numbering of the national roads still corresponds to the Serbian or the old Yugoslav number . For this reason, the number assignment within Kosovo is very inconsistent with large jumps between the numbers. It is not yet clear whether this numbering will be reformed.

Highways

→ Main article : Autostrada R 7

Signs for the R 7

New highways under construction or planned are numbered with the letter R (for route ) followed by a space and a single-digit number. Example: R 7 . The long form, e.g. B. Route 7 is also in use.

Signage

The national roads are signposted with blue signs, the motorways with green signs. However, yellow Serbian signs can still be found very often, especially on undeveloped road sections and especially in the north of the country.

toll

No toll should be levied until the motorway is fully completed . However, the exits have already been built in such a way that a closed, route-dependent toll system can be set up.
