The Croatian Automobile Club (HAK) reported several traffic incidents in its road report published on August 13, 2026, which are currently slowing traffic on key motorways. The most significant problems are on the A1 motorway towards Zagreb, where a traffic accident occurred in the Čelinka tunnel.

Queue on A1 and Pedestrian on A7

Due to the accident in the Čelinka tunnel, traffic towards Zagreb is reduced to one lane, with a speed limit of 60 km/h. As a result, a queue has formed stretching between the Jasenice rest area and the tunnel itself. Drivers heading to this section are advised to be patient and exercise extra caution.

Meanwhile, on the A7 motorway, between the Vrata Jadrana Jug rest area and the Rijeka zapad junction, towards Križišće, a pedestrian was reported on the carriageway. Traffic on this section is also reduced to one lane with a speed limit of 60 km/h.

Accident on Zagreb Bypass

Problems have also affected the Zagreb bypass (A3). An accident occurred on ramp 10 at the Zagreb zapad junction, specifically on the exit ramp from the A2 motorway towards Zagreb. Traffic there is also subject to a 60 km/h speed limit.

Roadworks and Exceptional Transport

In addition to the incidents, numerous roadworks are underway on Croatian motorways and state roads, requiring temporary traffic management. On the A3, until December 31, due to traffic congestion relief on the approach to the Zagreb zapad junction (Jankomir), traffic is reduced to one lane. Until September 1, drainage rehabilitation works are ongoing on the section between the Popovača and Kutina junctions, where traffic runs in two narrowed lanes.

Due to exceptional transport on the Zagreb zapad, Okučani section, on the night of August 13-14, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM, traffic will be stopped once for fifteen minutes in the area of the Okučani junction. The width of this exceptional transport is 5.25 meters.

On the A4 Goričan-Zagreb, on the Zagreb istok-Popovec section, until August 30, traffic runs in both directions in narrowed lanes, and on the carriageway towards Goričan, the speed limit is 80 km/h. All ramps at the Zagreb istok and Sesvete junctions are fully operational.

Wind Restrictions and Summer Ban for Trucks

Due to strong winds, traffic bans are in effect for vehicles of group I (motorcycles, vehicles with trailers, double-decker buses) on the Adriatic Highway (DC8) between Bakar and Sveta Marija Magdalena, as well as on the local road LC58107 Kraljevica (DC8), Križišće junction (A7).

A summer ban is also in effect for motor vehicles with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 7.5 tons on certain state roads in Istria and the coastal area. The ban lasts until September 15 and applies on Saturdays from 4:00 AM to 2:00 PM and Sundays from 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

HAK urges drivers to adapt their speed and driving style to road conditions, obey traffic regulations and restrictions, and maintain a safe distance between vehicles.
