Drivers beware: Queues on roads from today, accident further hinders traffic

Motorists in Croatia should brace for significant traffic disruptions and long queues on highways beginning today, according to the Croatian Auto Club (HAK). The HAK has issued warnings about increased traffic density and reduced visibility due to fog in several inland areas.

Specific congestion points include the A2 Zagreb-Macelj highway between the Zagreb West and Zaprešić junctions, heading towards Zagreb. Additionally, traffic is moving slowly on the A4 Goričan-Zagreb highway between the Zagreb East and Popovec junctions in the direction of Zagreb, where a queue has formed approximately one kilometer long.

Further complicating matters, an accident on the Zagreb bypass (A3) between the Zagreb West and Lučko junctions, in the direction of Lipovac, is causing substantial delays. Traffic is currently restricted to two lanes with a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour. Increased traffic is also reported on urban roads, bypasses, and routes leading to coastal tourist centers, particularly Split and Dubrovnik.

In addition to the traffic congestion, patchy fog is reducing visibility on roads in the interior of the country, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions. Maritime traffic, however, is reported to be operating without issues.
