HAK reports heavy traffic in both directions. On the A2 motorway from Krapina to Đurmanec, traffic is banned for heavy goods vehicles and buses, while on the A1 and the Adriatic Highway, traffic is moving slowly due to accidents.
On Saturday, August 9, 2026, the Croatian Automobile Club (HAK) reports increased traffic on roads leading to and from the coast. Drivers are advised to maintain a safe distance and form an emergency corridor in case of congestion. According to HAK reports, traffic is particularly heavy on motorways, with multi-kilometer queues already forming on certain sections.
On the A2 Zagreb-Macelj motorway, major congestion is building up. At the Trakošćan toll plaza, in the direction of Zagreb, the queue is about 500 meters long, and towards Macelj about 1.5 kilometers. Due to the high volume of vehicles, traffic is banned for heavy goods vehicles and buses from the Krapina junction to the Đurmanec junction in both directions. Additional congestion is reported at the Zagreb West junction, where the queue extends about four kilometers.
On the A1 Zagreb-Split-Dubrovnik motorway, between the Jastrebarsko and Karlovac junctions in the direction of the coast, an accident occurred at kilometer 34. Traffic is moving in queues with occasional stops. At the Lučko toll plaza (both directions) and Demerje (towards Zagreb), there are no long waits. However, according to additional information, an accident also occurred between the Lučko and Donja Zdenčina junctions, at kilometer 2+800 in the direction of Dubrovnik, causing traffic to be reduced to one lane, with a queue about three kilometers long. On the A3 Bregana-Lipovac motorway, towards the Lučko toll plaza from the Buzin junction, the queue is about three kilometers long, and due to an accident on the Sava Bridge in the direction of Bregana, the queue extends about four kilometers. On the A4 Goričan-Zagreb motorway, from the Popovec junction towards the Zagreb East junction, the standstill is about five kilometers long.
On the Adriatic Highway (DC8), between Opuzen and Rogotin, an accident has also occurred, causing slow traffic. HAK urges caution and patience.
According to HAK information, congestion is expected on Monday in the first part of the day on the A1 between Lučko and Bosiljevo, and later on the Krk Bridge and on approaches to tourist destinations. HAK spokesperson Nikolina Lukić noted that Mondays have become increasingly busy as travelers try to avoid weekend shifts. From midnight to 6 PM, 37,100 vehicles headed towards the coast, and 31,300 towards the interior, which is more than the previous day. At border crossings with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro, waits are 1-2 hours. HAK recommends traveling on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
HAK warns that additional delays are possible during the day on sections where roadworks are underway, as well as in front of toll plazas, rest areas, border crossings, ferry ports, and on approaches to tourist destinations. Drivers are advised to set off in time, monitor traffic conditions, and adjust their speed and driving style to road conditions.
