In July, traffic on Slovenian roads is expected to remain high throughout the month, particularly on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. This increase is attributed to summer holidays starting in several European countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands, leading to an influx of tourists. Additionally, Czech Republic has a national holiday on Sunday, July 5th, with Monday, July 6th also being a public holiday, further contributing to increased travel. According to the Traffic Information Center's traffic calendar, roads are expected to be 'very heavily congested' today afternoon, turning red on Saturday, and remaining red through the second half of Sunday and the first half of Monday. Orange indicates 'high congestion,' while yellow signifies 'increased congestion.' Green, representing normal traffic levels, is unlikely to appear this July. Specific roadworks and closures are reported on various sections of highways such as A1 and A2, affecting traffic flow and requiring alternative routes.
