Traffic jams on the sea roads: Two accidents on the A1 create lines

On Sunday, traffic was moderate to occasionally heavy towards the coast, with queues forming on the A1 motorway due to two accidents between Jastrebarsko and Bosiljevo 2 in the southbound direction, according to the Croatian Automobile Club (HAK). There were no long queues at toll stations in both directions at Lučko and in the Zagreb direction at Demerje. On the A4 motorway between Novi Marof and Breznički Hum, there was a spillage on the road, reducing speed limits to 80 km/h in both directions. On the A2 motorway near Trakošćan in the Zagreb direction, a queue stretched approximately 500 meters. On the A3 motorway between Lučko and Buzin in the Lipovac direction, traffic was slowed due to spilled liquid, with a speed limit of 80 km/h. On the Adriatic Motorway (DC8) between Opuzen and Rogotin, traffic was slow due to an accident. Increased traffic is expected throughout the day on most roads heading towards the coast and inland, particularly on highways. Drivers are advised to adjust their speed and driving style to road conditions, maintain safe distances, and create emergency lanes if necessary. Due to fog along the coastline, certain vehicle groups may face restrictions, and海上

Heavy traffic congestion has emerged across key roadways in Croatia, particularly along routes heading towards the coast and inland, with long queues forming at major intersections. The Croatian Automobile Club (HAK) issued warnings early Sunday morning, urging drivers to adjust their speed and driving style according to road conditions and maintain safe distances between vehicles. The increased traffic pressure is primarily due to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, which falls on August 15, drawing large numbers of pilgrims traveling to Marian shrines. This surge in travel has led to heightened congestion on main roads leading to coastal areas, tourist centers, ferry terminals, and some border crossings. According to HAK, traffic jams have formed on several highways, including the A1, A2, and A7, with reports of long queues stretching up to six kilometers on certain sections. On the A1 highway connecting Zagreb to Split and Dubrovnik, a collision near the junctions of Novigrad and Bosiljevo 1 caused a six-kilometer-long queue in the direction of Dubrovnik. Additional delays were reported near the tunnels of Čelink and Rovanjska, where traffic was restricted to two lanes with reduced speed limits. On the A2 highway linking Zagreb to Macelj, a four-kilometer queue formed near the Trakošćan toll station heading back to Zagreb, extending into Slovenia. Similarly, on the A7 highway between Rupa and Križišće, traffic had intensified between the Rupa border crossing and the Šmrika junction, prompting HAK to recommend alternative exits for drivers heading to Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski. In addition to these traffic bottlenecks, several incidents have further complicated the situation. A fire in the Omis area has resulted in the closure of the Omis bypass (DC553) for all vehicles. In Pelješac, traffic on the state road DC414 between Prizdrina and Potomje, as well as on the local road Kuna Pelješka, Pijavičino, is being managed using a single lane with police regulation. These disruptions add to the already challenging conditions for drivers navigating through the region. The HAK has also announced temporary restrictions on heavy goods vehicles exceeding 7.5 tonnes on certain state roads in Istria and the coastline from 12:00 to 23:00 on Saturday and again from 14:00 to 23:00 on Sunday. These restrictions do not apply to motorways or the state road DC1. Drivers are advised to check road conditions before embarking on their journeys and consider alternative routes if possible to avoid the most congested areas. Traffic congestion is not limited to the interior regions. On the Krčki bridge (DC102), a queue has formed in the direction of the island between the Šmrika roundabout and Omišlja. On the state road DC1, traffic has slowed down near Klinča Selo heading south and in the work zone between Gračac and Knin near Otrić. These issues are compounded by ongoing infrastructure projects, such as those on the A3 highway between Bregana and Lipovac, where rest areas have been closed and traffic is restricted to narrowed lanes. The situation is further exacerbated by additional incidents, such as a fire near Tisno, which has disrupted traffic on the state road DC59 between Dubrava and Velima. These combined factors create a complex and challenging environment for drivers attempting to navigate through the region during this busy period. Drivers are urged to exercise caution and adapt their driving behavior to current road conditions, ensuring they maintain safe distances and adjust speeds accordingly. With multiple disruptions affecting different parts of the country's road network, careful planning and awareness of real-time traffic updates are essential for anyone traveling during this time.
