Due to high temperatures and increased traffic on city bypasses, especially in Zagreb, the Croatian Automobile Club (HAK) advises drivers to adjust their speed and maintain a greater following distance. On the A4 motorway Goričan-Zagreb, between the Popovec and Zagreb East junctions in the direction of Zagreb, traffic is slowed due to roadworks. Additional difficulties are caused by works in the Dubrave tunnel, where traffic is reduced to one lane with a speed limit. The works are expected to be completed by 6 PM, reports 24sata. There are currently no difficulties in maritime traffic.
