Strategic Importance of the Bulgarian Road Network
Bulgaria's roads are among the most active in Europe. In late 2025, an international study ranked Bulgaria's roads as the 10th busiest globally, with a congestion score of 6.36 out of 10 (Source: DiscoverCars.com). This high volume is driven by both domestic growth and the country's role as a major transit corridor for freight.
The A1 Trakia Motorway remains the nation's busiest artery, bearing the brunt of the heavy east-west transit flow. Meanwhile, the A2 Hemus Motorway continues its expansion, with several new sections opening in late 2025 to ease traffic toward Pleven and the northern provinces (Source: BTA/RIA).

Navigating Bulgaria's Congestion Hotspots
Urban traffic in Bulgaria can be challenging, particularly during the peak holiday seasons. In 2025, the TomTom Traffic Index reported an average congestion level of 41.8% for Bulgaria's major cities, with Sofia and Plovdiv experiencing the most significant delays (Source: TomTom).
TrafficVision's Interactive Map allows drivers to stay ahead of the gridlock. By zooming into the Sofia Ring Road or checking the Grid View for the Trakia motorway exit points, you can confirm whether a reported delay is worth a detour before you start your journey.
