As summer begins and the Day of Statehood holiday approaches, the Slovenian Motorway Company (Dars) warns of significantly increased traffic on Slovenia's motorway network. The heaviest traffic is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, June 24 and 25, 2026, with additional congestion anticipated throughout July and early August due to European vacation patterns. Specific dates like July 3–4 and July 10–11 are highlighted as critical periods, influenced by school holidays in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Traffic challenges are compounded by summer conditions such as high temperatures, fatigue, and unpredictable weather, which increase accident risks. Road closures and diversions are planned in Ljubljana, particularly on Šubičeva, Valvasorjeva, and other streets during peak hours. Dars advises drivers to plan their trips in advance, monitor real-time traffic updates, and practice defensive driving.
