Columns of tin are winding along Slovenian roadsOn the first Sunday of August, traffic jams composed mainly of trucks are forming on several major roads in Slovenia. The congestion is particularly noticeable on the Gorenjska motorway near the Karavanke tunnel, which is occasionally closed for safety reasons, as well as on the Primorska motorway heading towards Ljubljana and Koper, and on the Šmarje–Koper road.
