Major traffic jams and wind disruptions plague Croatian roads

Croatian roads are experiencing significant traffic congestion today, with major routes leading to the coast and inland areas seeing heavy volumes. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) reports that traffic is particularly dense on key highways and coastal roads, as well as at most border crossings.

Adding to the travel challenges, a strong bura wind is affecting coastal regions. This has led to restrictions for certain types of vehicles on sections of the Adriatic Highway. On the A1 highway, traffic is moving slowly with intermittent stops between Posedarje and Čelinka tunnel, and between Mala Kapela and Lučko tunnel, in the direction of Zagreb.

Drivers heading towards Zagreb are facing long queues at the Lučko and Demerje toll stations, with lines extending about a kilometer. The A2 Zagreb-Macelj highway has restrictions for trucks and buses between Krapina and Đurmanec due to high traffic volume. Additionally, a two-kilometer queue has formed at the Goričan toll station on the A4 highway heading towards Hungary.

HAK is urging drivers to adapt their speed and driving style to the current conditions and to maintain adequate safety distances between vehicles. Earlier in the day, a traffic accident on the 61st kilometer between the Ivanić Grad junction and the Zagreb East toll station also caused a 2-kilometer traffic jam.
