ROLE AND TASKS OF THE ICSRR 

ICSRR 

• ICSRR is a part of the city magisterial network 

• It should provide efficient urban transit flows 

• It should provide efficient distribution of traffic which gravitate to 

different city areas without passing through city centre 

• It is expected that above mentioned functions will relax Central zone of 

unneeded transit flows from one to another city area 

• ICSRR should perform both transit and distributive function generated by 

Belgrade citizens and commuters 

• Such function requested specific design solutions


AGENCY 

ICSRR 

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY ICSRR CONSTRUCTION 

• The volume of the main road network during the the morning peak hour 

exceeds the number of 55.000 vehicles, and by the year of 2021 the 

volume is expected to reach the figure of 105.000 vehicles which 

represents a 90% increase. 

• The 24% reduction in traffic flows on the bridges is expected after the 

completion of the ICSRR construction (accordingly in the City Centre), 

and in impact area even the reduction of 40% during the morning peak 

hour. 

• Expected travel time saving, in the first phase, implies more than 14.000 

hours in the peak hour. 

• Traffic volume reduction in the Central Area will result in essential 

decrease in air pollution and noise.
