In Miloja Pavlovića Street in the Podgorica settlement of Gornja Gorica, citizens have been having difficulty with traffic for a long time due to a large number of manholes in the roadway. They are also concerned about the noise that increases in the evening. Authorities say that this solution was necessary due to technical limitations and residents' requests.

On Miloja Pavlovića Street in Gornja Gorica, drivers are being directed by manholes. Necessity forced them to take part in an improvised slalom rally.

On a street where manholes are more common than trees, the locals are also bothered by the noise – especially in the evening, when cars and motorbikes drive over them.

Although some people make a joke of this problem, they are aware of the shortcomings in the work of those in charge.

According to the main reconstruction project, the construction of around 200 manholes was planned for this street. Although most of them were supposed to be placed on the sidewalks, this was not possible in this case.

"In the case of Miloja Pavlovića Street, this was not possible, especially because side connections to the fecal sewage system were left for each urban plot and side road. Also, at the request of the locals, additional manholes for water supply installations were built, which also had to be placed on the roadway due to lack of space in the sidewalk areas," the Podgorica Construction and Development Agency announced.

That's why the locals of this street don't have much left to do - except arm themselves with patience and drive carefully.
