Hell on Wheels in Montenegro!
Welcome to the land where roads are a mess and the thermometer hits a scorching 38 degrees Celsius! AMSCG warns: avoid long trips during the hottest part of the day. Yes, you read that right – driving in Montenegro these days feels like a crazy video game full of obstacles and sudden traffic jams.
Heat Melting Asphalt and Drivers’ Nerves
As the thermometer climbs to a blistering 38 degrees, drivers battle dry roads and good visibility, but that’s no reason to relax. AMSCG urges maximum caution and adherence to traffic rules. Who would have thought July would bring so many road problems?
Roads Under Siege by Repairs and Landslides
On the regional road Đurđevića Tara – Mojkovac, the Sokolovina area is closed due to rockfalls. Repairs are ongoing, forcing all drivers to seek alternative routes. But wait, there’s more! Reconstruction of road R29 near Bar and the Kamenički bridge in Krute causes full traffic stoppages from 8 AM to 4 PM.
On main roads M2 and M3, traffic is tough – one lane open with occasional stops up to 30 minutes. Some sections are controlled by traffic lights, meaning you’ll wait like at a traffic light, but longer and more frustrating.
Cities in Blockade and Traffic Chaos
In Podgorica, Vojsavljevića street is closed due to boulevard construction, with vehicles rerouted. Main road M6 between Pljevlja and Đurđevića Tara switches from two-way to one-way traffic at work sites. The same applies to the Šavnik – Žabljak section, where traffic changes intermittently due to landslide and cliff repairs.
Why Does This Matter?
Imagine heading to the sea or mountains, only to face kilometer-long queues, heat melting the asphalt, and rising frustration. AMSCG warns it’s essential to avoid long trips during the hottest hours because driving in these conditions is not just unpleasant but dangerous.
What’s Behind These Problems?
Repairs and reconstructions are necessary, but why now? Could everything have coincided at the worst possible time? While drivers suffer, local authorities still fail to fix basic infrastructure issues. Is this a sign that Montenegro’s traffic system is on the brink of collapse?
Conclusion: Stay Cool and Patient!
If you plan to travel through Montenegro, arm yourself with patience and cold drinks. Avoid driving between 11 AM and 4 PM, when the sun blazes hottest and roads are full of works and delays.
And if you’re stuck in a jam, don’t get mad – maybe it’s time to laugh and share this story with friends. Who knows, maybe someone has a better tip or at least a good joke about Montenegrin roads!
