Kilometer-Long Queues Plague Croatian Roads as Tourists Head to Coast

Croatian drivers heading to the Adriatic coast are facing extensive traffic jams and long queues on Saturday morning, with the A1 highway towards Dubrovnik being particularly congested. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) is advising motorists to be patient and maintain safe distances as traffic density increases.

The A1 Zagreb-Split-Dubrovnik highway is experiencing slow-moving traffic and potential short stops in the direction of Dubrovnik, between the Lučko toll station and the Bosiljevo 2 junction. Despite the southbound congestion, the Lučko and Demerje toll stations heading towards Zagreb are not reporting significant waiting times.

Further north, the A3 Zagreb bypass is also heavily affected. Queues are stretching approximately six kilometers towards the Lučko toll station from Buzin, and about two kilometers from the Zagreb West junction. An unusual delay is occurring near Popovača due to a dog on the roadway, necessitating a speed limit of 60 km/h.

Traffic is also severely impacted on the A2 Zagreb-Macelj highway. A six-kilometer queue is reported at the Trakošćan toll station heading towards Zagreb, extending back into Slovenia. Additionally, roadworks between the Trakošćan and Đurmanec junctions are causing a three-kilometer tailback in the same direction. Due to the high volume of vehicles, trucks and buses are temporarily banned between the Krapina and Đurmanec junctions in both directions.
