Traffic congestion has increased on major roads during the weekend, particularly at coastal entrances, toll stations, and border crossings. Ivan Samarin, head of the Lučko Toll Collection Technical Unit, provided data to RTL indicating this is the peak season, with around 250,000 vehicles expected to pass through both directions. Over the previous two days, 165,000 vehicles were recorded, with 67,600 passing through by 6 PM today. Traffic numbers are higher compared to last year, with a three percent increase at the entrance and five percent at the exit. During July, tolls were collected for 220,000 more vehicles than last year. Samarin recommended avoiding travel from Friday to Monday due to heavy traffic, suggesting Tuesday and Wednesday as more favorable days. He advised traveling in the evening if possible to avoid morning congestion. With an extended weekend due to holidays, increased traffic is expected to continue throughout August and possibly into September if the weather remains good.
