About Tompa – Kelebija
Kelebija sits on the edge of Subotica, while on the Hungarian side the Tompa crossing is the end of road 53 from Kiskunhalas. For drivers coming from Budapest it is a parallel option to the M5 motorway: instead of going via Szeged and Röszke you cross further west, roll straight into Subotica on the Serbian side and are soon back on the A1. Cars are handled in both directions.
Leaving Hungary for Serbia takes about half an hour on average. Tuesday and Wednesday are the calmest (around 20–25 minutes), Friday and Saturday the slowest (40–45 minutes), peaking on Saturday early afternoon. Coming back into Hungary averages just under an hour: about half an hour on Tuesdays, more than an hour on Fridays and Sundays, and around an hour and a half on Saturdays. In this direction night is best (roughly 25 minutes) and noon to 6 pm the worst, typically an hour and a quarter.
Tompa – Kelebija ranks second-quickest on this border and is a sensible compromise if you are passing Subotica anyway. On the way home it is several times faster than the Röszke – Horgoš motorway crossing (over five hours on average) and Röszke 2 (close to three); only Tiszasziget – Đala, at about half an hour, does better. Southbound it also beats Röszke, where that direction takes around an hour and a half. The main thing to avoid is Saturday, especially the afternoon.
