R-1 regional road (Montenegrin: Regionalni put R-1) is a Montenegrin roadway.
Between Čekanje and Njeguši there are 7 hairpin turns, and after Krstac, going down the western mountainside of Lovćen towards Kotor, there are additional 25 hairpin turns.
In 2017, section from Bajice (village at outskirts of Cetinje) to Krstac is being rebuild. Road will be widened from 4 meters to 6.4 meters and radius of curves will be bigger. Between Čekanje and Njeguši a 490 meters tunnel is being built, bypassing hairpin turns. All of this should shorten the road for 3.5 km and at the same time increasing the speed.
Section of the R-1 regional road between Cetinje and Krstac (Njeguši) is the oldest vehicular road in Montenegro. It was built after Montenegro was recognised as independent state at Congress of Berlin in 1878. Construction begin in 1879, and was finished in 1881
