HAK warns of severe traffic jams and delays on routes to Croatia's coast

Drivers heading towards the Adriatic coast in Croatia are facing significant traffic congestion and long queues on multiple routes as the weekend begins. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) has issued warnings about slowed traffic and temporary standstills on key roads.

Congestion is particularly heavy on the A1 highway between the Karlovac and Bosiljevo II junctions, heading towards the sea. Similar delays are reported on the A6 Rijeka-Zagreb highway, the Istrian Ypsilon, and major roads through Lika and Gorski Kotar. The Krk Bridge and ferry ports are also experiencing increased traffic density.

Further complicating travel, a broken-down vehicle in the Sveti Rok tunnel on the A1 caused traffic to move in a single lane at reduced speeds. The Kvarner region is also heavily affected, with a two-kilometer queue reported on the A7 highway near the Šmrika junction. HAK recommends using the Hreljin exit towards Crikvenica and notes delays on the Učka exit towards Istria and the Krk Bridge.

HAK urges all drivers to verify current road conditions before embarking on their journeys and to adjust their driving according to the prevailing circumstances. The organization emphasizes the importance of safe driving amidst the heavy weekend traffic.
