Chaos on Montenegro Roads: Why Traffic Kills Slower Than Landslides and Roadworks?

Welcome to Montenegro, the land where drivers must be ready for anything — from rockslides to traffic shutdowns lasting hours! Today, the roads are buzzing with increased vehicle frequency, turning any trip into a real adventure for those brave enough to hit the road. The Auto-Moto Association of Montenegro (AMSCG) advises drivers to take more frequent breaks because patience will be tested like never before.

On the regional road Đurđevića Tara – Mojkovac, traffic is completely stopped due to a rockslide at Sokolovina. Yes, you read that right — a rock decided to drop right onto the road, and the repair of this critical spot is ongoing. While you wait for the road to clear, you can ponder how nature in Montenegro always keeps you on your toes.

But wait, there’s more! On regional road R29, Bar – Kamenički Bridge – Krute, traffic will be halted in three intervals during the day: from 8 to 11 AM, 1 to 4 PM. Similarly, on road R14 Danilovgrad – Čevo, traffic will be closed from 9 AM to noon, and again from 1 to 4 PM. Thought that was it? Think again.

On main roads M2 and M3, traffic moves on a single lane alternately, and on some sections, the traffic regime has changed from two-way to one-way due to construction. Vojsavljevića Street in Podgorica is closed for boulevard construction, diverting vehicles to alternative routes. On main road M6, section Pljevlja – Đurđevića Tara, traffic regime is also changed due to works, and on the Šavnik – Žabljak section, traffic will be intermittently two-way or one-way due to landslide and cliff repairs.

Does this sound like a normal traffic day? If yes, you’re either a local or ready for the adventure of a lifetime. For those who aren’t, AMSCG’s advice is clear: take more breaks, your patience will be pushed to the limit. And don’t forget — traffic signals and lights are there to help, but also to annoy you a little.

In short, if you plan to travel through Montenegro, brace yourself for chaos, delays, and unpredictable situations. And hey, if you have a good joke about Montenegrin roads, feel free to drop it in the comments — we all need a laugh while waiting for the road to clear!
