Balkan traffic faces fog, roadworks, and winter mandates
Traffic conditions across the Balkans are currently impacted by seasonal weather, roadworks, and upcoming regulatory changes.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, BIHAMK reports reduced visibility due to morning fog in valleys and higher elevations, alongside slippery roads caused by fallen leaves and construction machinery. Significant roadworks are affecting the A-1 highway, including closures at Most Hercegovina and the Kakanj-Lašva section. Additionally, drivers must prepare for mandatory winter equipment regulations starting November 1, which will include requirements for winter tires or snow chains.
In Montenegro, the AMSCG has announced several road closures and traffic restrictions due to reconstruction projects. Notable closures include the Đurđevića Tara bridge on the M-6 highway and various regional roads such as R-15 and R-29. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes and exercise caution in canyons and narrow passages.
In Croatia, specifically within the Bjelovarsko-bilogorska County, police have announced increased traffic controls for the upcoming weekend. Authorities will focus on preventing accidents by monitoring speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, seatbelt usage, and mobile phone use while driving.
