In Republika Srpska, authorities have initiated a procurement process for 90 advanced stationary radar systems. These devices are designed to detect various traffic violations beyond speed, such as running red lights, failing to wear seatbelts, and mobile phone usage. Deployment will prioritize areas near schools, public institutions, and borders.

Subsequent traffic management measures in Republika Srpska included temporary bans on vehicles exceeding 7.5 tons on several key routes, such as the Banjaluka-Doboj highway, in observance of the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom, and the National Flag. Additionally, roadworks and bridge repairs have contributed to traffic delays in the region.
