Introduction: Welcome to Montenegro’s Traffic Chaos!
If you thought summer was a time for relaxation and easy driving, think again! Montenegro’s roads this year are a real adventure for all drivers. Traffic is heavier, and roadworks and closures on almost all major routes are turning travel into a nightmare.
Roadworks and Total Closures – Where and When?
On regional road R10, on the Đurđevića Tara – Mojkovac section, at Sokolovina, traffic is completely stopped due to rockfall and critical point repairs. Closures are also scheduled elsewhere: August 1 on R29 near Kamenički Bridge, July 8 on R14 near Danilovgrad, and on main roads M2 and M3 traffic runs alternately on one lane due to works.
Imagine this – on some sections, two-way traffic is converted to one-way, and on the highway, trucks over 7.5 tons are banned from June 15 to September 15 every day in the evening hours! This means trucks will have to find alternative routes or wait until night to pass.
Bans That Will Drive You Crazy
Buses, light and heavy vans, and special passenger vehicles like campers are banned on key sections of regional roads throughout the summer. This will especially affect tourists and locals relying on public transport or planning camper trips.
Why Is This a Problem?
Besides obvious driver frustration, such measures can seriously impact tourism and the local economy. Traffic jams, delays, and difficult access to tourist destinations can deter visitors and threaten seasonal income.
How to Prepare?
The Montenegro Auto-Moto Association advises more frequent breaks during driving and extra caution on work sites. Using alternative routes and following real-time traffic updates is also recommended.
Conclusion: Is This Summer for Driving or Madness?
Until the works are finished, drivers in Montenegro can expect a real traffic adventure. With numerous closures, traffic regime changes, and bans, travel will require patience, good preparation, and maybe a bit of luck.
If you’re already stuck in a queue or lost due to closures, don’t worry – you’re not alone! Share your traffic woes in the comments, maybe together we’ll find a way out of this chaos. Or at least get a good laugh while standing still!
