The “folk wisdom” of Russian travelers to the warm Black Sea says: never be on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory on Friday evening or Saturday morning. Unless your plans include many hours of “rest” in a traffic jam. Last weekend was yet another confirmation of this truth.

In particular, there was a traffic jam in the Goryachiy Klyuch area on part of the M4 Don motorway. Internet services estimate the length at seven kilometers. In addition, the residents of Krasnodar, who wanted to leave for a vacation in the direction of the Black Sea, were surprised to find that already at 4:30 a.m. a strong traffic jam had formed at the exit of the city. A four-kilometer-long traffic jam was also recorded on the Novorossiysk Highway, both on the approach to Dzhubga from Krasnodar and in the opposite direction. Driving on the part of the road from Olginka to Novomikhailovsky was also difficult, Kuban News reported.

Now in Sochi, however, it will still not be possible to fully relax. On the night of July 11, heavy rains hit the Krasnodar Territory and a storm warning was issued. A number of streets in the coastal villages of the Adler and Lazarevsky districts were flooded, the rivers overflowed their banks. Car traffic in the city is difficult. In addition, due to bad weather, the authorities have closed city beaches to holidaymakers.
