European roads are full of holidaymakers – level 1

01-08-2024 07:00

There are too many cars on European roads. People are going on summer holidays.

Traffic jams are making travel hard. In Germany, Croatia, and Slovenia, there are too many cars on the roads. The following weeks will be the hardest. In Bavaria, many people are going to Italy and Austria. There is a long traffic jam on the A8 road. It is 14 kilometers. In Slovenia, traffic is bad because school holidays start. Drivers should take breaks and drink enough water.

In Croatia, there are long lines because many people are traveling and because of some accidents. There is a big traffic jam between Zadar East, Zadar Center, and Split. Croatian authorities are giving water and car air fresheners to tourists.

Difficult words: traffic jam (too many cars on the road), traffic (cars on roads), air freshener (a device or substance which makes the air smell fresh).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What are the reasons for the long lines and traffic jams in Croatia?
