Stops on Slovenian roads, the longest on the Gorenje highway

The article reports on traffic congestion and road closures across various highways and roads in Slovenia. On the Gornji Avtocesta, drivers heading towards Kranjska Gora are advised to take the Jesenice vzhod/Lipce route, which allows only local traffic. Congestion is also noted on the Lesce–Bled road. On the Primorska Avtocesta, delays occur between Kozarje and Dragomerje towards Kopře, and between Unc and Brezovica towards Ljubljana. The Štajerska Avtocesta experiences congestion between Slovenske Konjice and Dramlje in both directions, with occasional tunnel closures. Due to an accident, traffic is restricted on the bypass near Srmin towards Kopře. The main road Kočevje–Petrina is closed in Stalcerje. Detours are available through Gotenice. Additional congestion is reported on the roads Vič–Brezovica, Lucija–Strunjan, Izola–Strunjan, and Šmarje–Koper. From 22:00 onwards, there is a restriction on heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 tons. The Vipava Expressway between Vipava and Sel is closed until Monday at 5:00 due to construction. The Gornji Avtocesta’s Brnik exit is closed until 18:00. The Mežica–Črna road on Koroska is closed until 20:00. The Zagorje–Most road via Sava is closed直至

A tragic traffic accident occurred yesterday on Slovenia’s coastal motorway, resulting in three fatalities, including two children. The incident involved a truck and a passenger car, with the latter carrying five individuals, four from Northern Macedonia and one from Italy, all of whom were killed. According to police reports, the truck driver, a 64-year-old citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, had parked his vehicle in an emergency lane due to mechanical failure. The driver of the passenger car, registered in Italy, initially collided with a guardrail before violently crashing into the rear left side of the truck's trailer. The passenger car was carrying five people, all residents of Northern Macedonia living in Italy. Police inspector Peter Leban explained that the driver and his wife were seated on the left side of the vehicle, while the three passengers, including the two children, were on the right side. He noted that the children did not use their seatbelts during the collision, which contributed to their deaths. The truck driver remained unharmed and was properly parked in the emergency lane according to police statements. The passenger car driver, who was taken to the hospital, showed no signs of alcohol or drug consumption based on preliminary tests conducted at the scene. Authorities are investigating why the passenger car veered off its lane. Once the investigation concludes, criminal charges will be filed against the driver for causing the accident through negligence. The motorway leading to Koper was closed until 23:56, and both drivers were released within two hours. However, the rescue efforts were hindered by numerous drivers failing to establish proper safety lanes. Some drivers even abandoned their vehicles and turned them around on the motorway, actions that police described as extremely reckless and dangerous, with fines of €150 for such violations. Austrian rescuers arrived at the scene, and the injured woman was later transported by helicopter to the University Clinical Centre in Ljubljana for treatment. Traffic congestion has been a recurring issue on Slovenian roads, particularly during weekends. From Friday to Monday, August 28 to 31, traffic is expected to increase significantly, especially towards Austria from Croatia. Long travel times are anticipated on the coastal motorway near Postojna and Vrhnika, the Ljubljana ring road, near the Karawanks and Sentilj passes, and on sections undergoing construction work. On the Styrian motorway, partial removal of barriers is scheduled for August 31, allowing traffic to flow on two lanes in each direction. This arrangement will remain in place until October 4, when the main construction phase is expected to conclude. On the section between Domžale and Ljubljana, barrier removal is planned for mid-November, with continued work in the 2027 construction season. On the coastal motorway between Unc and Razdrt, barrier removal is expected by mid-November, followed by winter break and resumption of work in spring 2027. Similarly, the Vipava Expressway between Razdrt and Vipava will see barrier removal by mid-November. On the Lower Carniola motorway between Ivančna Gorica and Bič, barrier removal is expected by late September or early October. New construction projects will further impact traffic conditions. On the Styrian motorway, from September 7 to November 15, the section between Slovenska Bistrica Jug and Slovenska Bistrica Sever will undergo renovation. Traffic will be rerouted to one half of the motorway, with two narrowed lanes in each direction. Work will resume in spring 2027 after a winter break. Construction of the Devin viaduct near the Slovenska Bistrica Sever junction is set to continue until the end of 2026. In autumn 2026, construction of a third lane on the coastal motorway between Ljubljana and Vrhnika will begin. Preliminary works this year involve closing the shoulder lane, with main construction starting in March 2027 and lasting two construction seasons, concluding by the end of 2028. Another severe accident occurred on the A5 motorway near Maribor, where a truck veered off the road, crashed into a metal guardrail owned by DARS, rolled down the embankment, and came to rest in a forest, facing opposite the direction of travel. The truck driver was unharmed, but his companion suffered serious injuries. Police are investigating why the driver lost control of the vehicle and veered off the road. Criminal charges are expected to be filed against him at the District State Prosecution in Maribor. Traffic congestion has also affected other parts of Slovenia. On the Karawanks tunnel approach, a seven-kilometer backlog formed, with similar delays on several other routes. On the Styrian motorway, traffic is backed up between Slovenska Bistrica Jug and the Golo Rebro pass towards Ljubljana, and between Dramlje and Pletovarje towards Maribor. On the coastal motorway, congestion extends from Kozarje to Brezovica to Vrhnika towards Koper, and near Postojna towards Koper. On the Lower Carniola motorway, traffic is delayed between Bič and Ivančna Gorica towards Ljubljana. On the Drava motorway near Gruškovje towards Croatia, and on the western and southern bypasses of Ljubljana, traffic is also experiencing delays. Authorities have urged drivers to respect speed limits, maintain safe distances, and exercise patience in traffic. When traffic begins to slow, drivers should immediately create a safety lane to allow emergency services to respond quickly and safely. Checking current traffic conditions via the official website Promet.si before departure is recommended, along with planning extra travel time.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a factual report on current traffic conditions and road closures without taking a political stance. It does not frame the information in a way that favors any particular political group or ideology. The focus is purely informational and objective.

It references multiple traffic incidents but does not provide enough detail to align with the specifics of the Croatian accident. This lack

Why objectivity (80): The article remains largely neutral in its reporting, focusing on describing traffic conditions and detour options without injecting personal opinions or biased language. It maintains a balanced perspective while discussing various traffic-related issues.
