Concerns have been raised regarding the ongoing reconstruction of the Postojna-Hruševje road. Local residents have pointed to safety issues associated with the current infrastructure, particularly concerning a traffic island. According to a nearby resident, the area has recorded 46 traffic accidents, including one fatality, within the last 17 months, alongside changes to established road connections.
Further criticism has focused on the design and implementation of the drainage systems for both the vehicular roads and the accompanying bike paths, which some observers have described as problematic. As part of the overall reconstruction effort, a bike path was constructed. This path appears in multiple configurations, sometimes as a standalone thoroughfare through settlements and at other times integrated as a lane adjacent to the newly reconstructed roads.
A specific technical concern revolves around the required drainage standards for the bike paths. Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Space mandate that proper drainage must be ensured throughout these paths. Critics have noted discrepancies in the implementation, suggesting that the drainage design fails to account for natural topography, referencing the principle that “pits do not lie at the lowest points.” These observations highlight a divergence between established engineering guidelines and the current physical arrangement of the infrastructure components.
