Montenegro imposes summer traffic bans on heavy trucks and buses

From 15 June to 15 September 2026, Montenegro will enforce temporary bans and restrictions on heavy‑weight motor vehicles, buses and campers on several main and regional roads. Vehicles over 7.5 tonnes are prohibited on highways M‑1 (Herceg Novi – Bar – Ulcinj), M‑2 (Podgorica – Petrovac, Podgorica – Kolašin) and M‑10 (Podgorica – Cetinje – Budva) during weekdays from 19:00 to 24:00 and weekends from 17:00 to 24:00. Buses of categories M2 and M3 and camper vans are banned on the same routes, plus regional roads R‑1 (Kotor – Trojica) and R‑25 (Međuvršje – Lovćen), 24 hours a day. Exemptions apply to priority vehicles, road‑maintenance units, emergency services and transport of hazardous or perishable goods. Police will monitor compliance and warn drivers to maintain safe distances, aiming to ensure safety for residents and tourists during the peak tourist season.
