Traffic jams and delays plague Croatia's A1 highway

Drivers on Croatia's A1 highway face significant delays and congestion, particularly between the Karlovac and Lučko toll booths. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) reported intermittent traffic jams and slow-moving queues, exacerbated by ongoing roadwork, tunnel passages, rest stops, and toll collection points.

Accidents have further complicated travel. On the A1 Zagreb-Ploče-Karamatići route, a crash near Donja Zdenčina heading towards Dubrovnik created a three-kilometer-long queue. Another incident between Donja Zdenčina and Demerje, and between Karlovac and Jastrebarsko, caused slow traffic in the direction of Zagreb.

Beyond the A1, increased traffic density is noted on most roads, with potential for long waits at ferry ports, terminals, and some border crossings. HAK urges drivers to remain vigilant, patient, and maintain safe distances between vehicles. On the A2 Zagreb-Macelj, a kilometer-long queue formed before the Trakošćan toll station towards Zagreb. The A6 Rijeka-Zagreb route is experiencing fewer major issues, though a broken-down vehicle in the Sopač tunnel heading towards Rijeka necessitated single-lane traffic with a speed limit of 60 km/h.
