LJUBLNANA, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Heavy traffic jam is reported this weekend at Slovenia's border crossings with Croatia, the Slovenian Press Agency STA reported on Saturday.
The busiest crossing is Gruskovje at Slovenia's southern border with Croatia where drivers have to wait two and a half hours to enter the country and two hours to exit, the report said.
The National Traffic Information Centre advises drivers to use alternative border crossings with Croatia, which is the most attractive holiday destination for holiday makers from Slovenia and its neighbouring countries of Austria, Hungry and Italy.
On the coastal region, waiting time over an hour is reported from border crossing points of Secovlje, Dragonja and Brezovica pri Gradinu, where Italian holiday makers are used to take.
The border crossings of Jelsane and Starod in the southwest and Metlika further east are also busy, with waiting time standing at between 50 and 45 minutes.
Meanwhile a long queue of vehicles has formed on the A2 motorway heading to the Karavanke tunnel in the direction of Austria. With a three-kilometer queue on the Slovenian side, and an eight-kilometer queue on the Austrian side, the tunnel is subject to temporary closures.
There is also heavy traffic jam on the A1 motorway to the coast in sections between Postojna and Brezovica heading to Ljubljana and the Ljubljana ring road.
The traffic situation has become worse as several traffic accidents happened, said the STA report.
