Highways in Croatia are the main transport network in Croatia. The Croatian classification includes several classes of highways: [1]

Contents

Other than the motorway routes, the national road classification includes the following enumerated categories of routes in the national highway system, with decreasing order of priority: [2]

Road operators differ according to the classification system: The designated motorways are operated by three different concessionaires. The state roads are maintained almost exclusively by Hrvatske ceste, while the county and local roads are managed by various county authorities. The road maintenance agencies are governed by various laws issued by the Parliament as well as bylaws issued by the Ministry of Transport. [1] [3]

The primary high-speed motorways are called autoceste (Croatian pronunciation: [ˈaʊtotsesta] ; singular: autocesta), and they are defined as roads with at least three lanes in each direction (including hard shoulder) and a speed limit of not less than 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). They are marked with a special road sign, similar to the road sign depicting a motorway/autoroute/autobahn in other parts of Europe. [4] The Croatian motorway (autocesta) network is 1,341.1 kilometres (833.3 mi) long. [5]

Motorways in Croatia are defined by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure. [3] [6] [7] The same applies to names of the motorway interchanges and rest areas. [8]

History

A major reason for the motorway construction "mania" of the 2000s is a previous political halt of the major Croatian highway project, today's A1, in the 1970s and 1980s under former Yugoslavia. When Croatia declared independence in 1991, the only true motorways in the country were Rijeka Kikovica (the westernmost part of today's A6), Zagreb Karlovac (the northernmost part of today's A1) and Zagreb Slavonski Brod (the central part of today's A3), the latter being part of the Brotherhood and Unity Highway. The dream to connect the two largest Croatian cities Zagreb and Split with a motorway (autocesta) went back to the times of the Croatian Spring. However, the construction of this project had not happened during Yugoslav period.

A7 motorway, Croatian motorway network was largely built in the 2000s A7-Draga.jpg
A7 motorway, Croatian motorway network was largely built in the 2000s

In 2005, the Zagreb–Split route was constructed. In addition, the A1 was extended towards Dubrovnik (currently at Ploče), and the A3 was extended so it connects Zagreb to Croatian borders with both Serbia (near Lipovac) and Slovenia (near Bregana). There is also a motorway from Zagreb to Rijeka, the A6, as well as the A4 motorway from Zagreb to the northeast (Hungarian border) as well as the A2 motorway from Zagreb to the northwest (Slovenian border). The A9 between Pula and the Slovenian border is also largely completed.

The construction of additional motorways has noticeably slowed in the 2010s, but it continues. As of 2021, the Cerovlje Rijeka section of A8, the remaining part of the Istrian Y, is being upgraded from semi-highway status. [9] The other motorways are in various early stages of development, coming up to a total of 11 motorway routes. The A1 is considered unfinished as it is planned to be extended from Ploče to Dubrovnik. [10]

Operators

The network is managed by 3 operators, of which one is under full government control and other two are operated by joint ventures. [5]

Traffic cost revenue

In 2022, the network had a traffic of 80,172,262 vehicles, including 70,344,584 light vehicles and 9,827,678 heavy vehicles (difference by axle height). [5]

The travel cost is 9.00 euros per 100 km for light vehicles in closed system and 6.00 euros in open toll system, while for heavy ones are 39.00 euros per 100 km in closed system and 21.00 in open system. [5]

Those costs generate a revenue of 426.5 millions of euros (without VAT) in 2022. [5]

Accidents

Two third of motorway fatalities (67%) occurred in the third of the year between July and October. [25] [26]

Expressways

Roads designated exclusively for motor vehicles are marked with this sign in Croatia Zeichen 331.1 - Kraftfahrstrasse, StVO 2013.svg
Roads designated exclusively for motor vehicles are marked with this sign in Croatia

There is a wide variety of types of expressways in Croatia, in terms of number of lanes, accessibility and types of intersections comprised. They range from four lane expressways with grade-separated intersections and limited access - distinguished from the motorways by lack of emergency lanes only - to four or six lane urban expressways with numerous at-grade intersections and traffic lights or two lane limited access roads with grade separated intersections. The expressways include both incomplete motorways, built in stages, [8] and some state roads (with either limited access, more than two traffic lanes, grade-separated intersections or any combination thereof). There are even some instances of county roads which may be regarded expressways such as Jadranska Avenue (Ž1040).

As a rule, the expressways are not tolled; however, major tunnels on the expressways are tolled.

State roads

State roads are defined by legislation [2] as important routes for road traffic between various parts of the country. Classification of a road as a state road does not describe actual conditions of the road itself.

State roads in Croatia are assigned one, two or three digit numbers which generally comply with the following pattern [36] (although there are some exceptions to the rules):

At the moment the state roads in Croatia have a combined length of 6,867.7 kilometres (4,267.4 mi).

Tolls

In the Republic of Croatia, primarily a closed toll system is applied to the entire motorway network tolls with multiple entrances and exits. The use of motorways is charged by mileage and vehicle category. At the entrance on the motorway, the user picks up the entrance card (or a record recorded on the ENC device) and the payment is made on exit toll stations according to the length of the trip. The open system is in use at toll stations Bregana(A3) and Rupa(A7). [5]

Safety

Croatia had 70 road deaths per million inhabitants estimated in 2022. [5]
