Croatian Motorways are definatly the best in Eastern and Central Europe, especially that brand new A1! :)

[krzamak]

Thanx Chris! :)

Nice images!
Good job! :okay:

[gronier]

They are really similar to chilean higways, good job!

[Ballota]

Just ot mention this: Austria has some 1.600km of motorways. Croatia now has 1.050km, and the plan is to have 1.400km by the year 2009. :cheers:

How about that A5 from Bosnia towards Hungary via Osijek?

After the second tube of the Ucka-Tunnel in Istria is built by the 2010, it seems logical that a
northern stretch (single carriageway for the beginning) should be made to connect Rijeka and
Umag via Buzet. See the map (violet).

Then a bridge-tunnel connection over the Triest Bay becomes very interesting
(13 km subsea tunnel and 2x5 km viaducts on each side). The project has been proposed by a Croatian architect Kincl
http://www.branko-kincl.com/project_detail.asp?id=96 .
He himself presented it in Italy. According to some sources ( http://home.no.net/lotsberg/data/croatia/list.html ) a feasibility study
is being done for the project.

The motorway to Split is truly gorgeous. The descent from the tunnel through the Velebit mtns. towards the sea is absolutely breathtaking.

I really don't see the point in building a tunnel ALONG the coast... Why? We're going to join the EU and Schengen soon anyway, so there will really be no need for a thing like this... Only in case that we don't join the EU and the Slovenians keep making problems at the border, but that's probably not going to be the case... So, we should better invest in something else... :)

Very nice motorways naturally passing through some fantastic scenery. :okay:

[Bahnsteig4]

I spent 2 1/2 hrs in a jam like the one in the pics above. But the scenery made up for it. I would die being held in a jam between, let's say Padova and Verona or Vienna and Linz.

[Alex Von Königsberg]

Croatian motorways seem superb, and it is too bad I haven't had a chance to visit this country yet. So far, the best motorways I drove on in Eastern Europe were czech dàlnice, but from the above photos it looks like Croatia may be a match for Czechia :okay:

The OFFICIAL survey published for the Public finances institute and done by Prof.Stulhofer of the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb shows that the Croatians have always been misstrustful towards the EU. 54% were so even in 2003, when almost 80% of the population was FOR the EU access. Since 2004 the number of "euroskeptics" (those who would vote against the EU membership) is growing and it is OFFICIALLY over 40% now. It is OFFICIALLY greater than the number of "europhyles", because a certain percentage (over 20%) of the people answer they do not know yet. Euroskeptics represent a "coherent sociopolitical option with stable symbolic and material interests", the survey reports. It is some kind of reality admission. The government must be aware (and it seems to be so) that the ostrich head-in-the-sand behavior wouldn't pay.
But, if we are able to build such nice motorways (and many other things), what do we need the EU for? Motorways are built to connect people. We are in touch with Europe and always will be. WHAT DO WE NEED THE EU MEMBERSHIP FOR?

[nikolas]

Nikolas, you know that there's no alternative and that we have to join EU eventually, otherwise we won't survive - we're not Norway nor Switzerland... So...
There are many alternatives... as always.
The world is changing. The EU will never play a role politically. There is China (pop. 1,4 bil), India (population 1 bilion), there is Russia, Brasil... So, USA and EU will no longer be the only masters of the world. Be aware of that. Perheps not being a EU member can be an advantage. Perheps we should join the BRIC economic area? (Brasil, Russia, India, China).
BTW, Norway has 4,6 milion inhabitants, more or less as Croatia. Do you believe that they have more resources than us there in the north? Norwegians voted against the EU membership twice. First time in 1972 (when Danes joined the EU) and in 1994 (when Sweden and Finland joined the EU), mostly because they didn't want to give up their sea and fishery to all the EU nations. However, they remained a part of the European economic area and EFTA. For the 5th consecutive year they're on top of the HDI (development index)...
What we need is a membership in the EFTA as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and in the European economic area as Norway and Iceland, or bilateral agreements as Switzerland.
It is possible, but we are politically blackmailed because they want us to be obedient. They don't want a strong neutral Croatia.
So, voting for the EU, you choose to be a slave of the actual political masters of the world. I DON'T WANT THAT. So, I'll vote against. Maybe they will manipulate the voting. However, I'm sure that the membership won't bring us any good.
I THINK WE SHOULD SEEK SOME KIND OF NEUTRALITY. For example, to be both a member of EEA/EFTA and BRIC.

^Is the A1 really being extended in the direction of Dubrovnik until 2008?

How are they going to do to cross that Bosnian bit of country? Is the motorway going through Bosnia, or is that being avoided by building the motorway in that croatian island paralel to the coast?



Another thing... it the A-6 really completed?! Is Rijecta connected to Zagreb by motorway?!
It sure doesn't look like that on www.viamichelin.com... and that map is updated.
Same goes for the A-8 and A-9. Do they really exist as motorways?! Or are they just fast roads?

[Nephasto]

^^Ok, i've checked on the website and confirmed that A-6, A-8 and A-9 are not motorways, but fast roads (single carrigeways) with no level crossings.

Why are they called A-*, as if they're motorways?

[zasina]

Fantastic photos and motorways!

[Bori427]

Great motorways,they look a lot like PuertoRican freeways (except these are more clean and with few traffic).

I could equally say that they look alot like portuguese freeways. And like all other freeways in europe. :)

Completion of A6 as a full motorway is in 2008. A8 and A9 are called A* because they're going to be upgraded to a full motorway very soon, so they wanted to avoid confusion with changing the name later... Construction of A8 and A9 second lane is going to start very soon, maybe even this year, I don't know the date...

Yes, they're extending it, first section from Split to Šestanovac is about to open this summer, I'm not sure about the date for the completion all the way to Dubrovnik. But for the Split to Ploče (Bosnian border) section, the year is definitely 2008. There are two ways of crossing Bosnia:

1. A bridge is being built from Croatian land to the Pelješac peninsula to avoid Bosnia

2. There will be the same old road through Bosnia as before, maybe there will be a highway built without exits in Bosnia, but that is still not known.

I heard they reconstruct them to motorways if enough traffic is there. That doesn't seems to be a problem with tourism in Istria.

[x-type]

Why are they called A-*, as if they're motorways?

A6 is called A because it is going to be upgraded to full profile really soon. and it is not full fast road, it has some sections allready built in full motorway profile. so you have sitaution like this: from knot Bosiljevo (A1) there is about 2 km full profile built. then you have fast road till viaduct Hambarište (before exit Vrbovsko). then full profile, and again after tunnel Čardak fast road till toll station Grobnik, where it becomes full profiled again and lasts till entrance to Rijeka. at all - you have about 50 km of fast road and 30 km of motorway.

A8 and A9 actualy are signed as B8 and B9 (i'm not sure for B9, but B8 100%). B means "brza cesta" what means "fast road". those roads are under different concession company, so they decided to sign'em as B roads. all down the way at B8 you have B signs, not A

[ChrisZwolle]

How about that A11 from Zagreb to Sisak? When will it be completed? Will it eventually extend into Bosnia? (Banja Luka or so).

[BL]

^^ there is a plan for A11 extension to BiH, but it has to be done bilateral. Bosnia is building highway from Banja Luka to Prijedor so this highway ought to be extended toward Sisak and Zagreb. Federation of BiH also plans to connect on this highway from Bihac, but this plans are not sure.

[BL]

As for Neum nothing is decided yet. maybe highway toward Dubrovnik will go trough Herzegovina all the way. There are more possibilities.

[ChrisZwolle]

Cheapest will be that they build a motorway through that tiny piece of Bosnia without exits or border crossings.

We had that once on a provincial road in Limburg, The Netherlands, there were a few kilometers through Germany without exit-possibilities.

[BL]

U don´t understand what i wanted to say, there is possibility that the highway would go all the way trough Herzegovina from Ploce or Neum till Dubrovnik and than to Montenegro, with an exit to Dubrovnik. It is much more cheaper and more ecological.
Something like this:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g146/osavic/bosnia_RW.jpg

[ChrisZwolle]

How is the terrain on Bosnian side? Similar like around Zadar and Split?

A motorway to Montenegro would be very good for tourism and trade.

There is no chance for such a scenario, maybe just last few kilometres will run through Bosnia.

1. Bosnia has no interest in this, there are no bigger Bosnian cities around
2. Croatia will build its own motorway till Dubrovnik, and that's right what we want to avoid - going through Bosnia. That's why we're building the bridge anyway ;)

I have just said that possibility coz the croatian politicians and media talked and reported about that. It would be cheaper at least 2 times.

[BL]

How is the terrain on Bosnian side? Similar like around Zadar and Split?

A motorway to Montenegro would be very good for tourism and trade.

it is flat.

Ofcourse that the bridge is being built so border crossings could be avoided, AND to revive Pelješac, but the main reason is to connect the Croatian territories...

Highway should reach Dubrovnik by the end of the decade, so if Croatia leaves the Neum - Dubrovnik part to BH to build, it won't be built at least for the next 20 years (it's the last thing that BH needs to build)... That's why I don't see that option as possible.

It is not my idea. Maybe concession could help.

I thought Croatia was still using the good ol' Yugoslav sign:http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8561/hcdd9.jpg (http://imageshack.us) as Slovenia still does. You're more into Germany now? :P

that's new thing. i think that we are using that square shape in last few months. for instance, i've seen it at new knot Kosnica on Zagreb bypass. and it is quite ugly in green colour. this blue for motor-vehicles-only looks good.

[Verso]

^^ In green color?? Btw, where's Kosnica? I thought the whole Zagreb bypass was 'autocesta'.

[x-type]

^^ In green color?? Btw, where's Kosnica? I thought the whole Zagreb bypass was 'autocesta'.

no no, real motorway sign (C69 in Croatia) is also square shaped in new regulation, that's what i meant when i said green.
Kosnica is in south-eastern part, between Ivanja Reka and Buzin at A3. it is not opened yet, but everything is done on the knot. if you heard about Domovinski Most - that's there

[x-type]

so, i meant this sign:http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a203/ixic/autobahnc69.png

i made this out from german blue motorway sign, but our is not that pretty because croatian doesn't have rounded corners as german.

Hello my friends from Croatia!
Could you tell me how long (approximately) the journey from Zadar to Dubrownik takes? There is motorway completed to Split, right? What about the last part to Dubrovnik? Is it comfortable, any traffic etc?

[x-type]

Could you tell me how long (approximately) the journey from Zadar to Dubrownik takes? There is motorway completed to Split, right? What about the last part to Dubrovnik? Is it comfortable, any traffic etc?

depends of traffic intensity, but about 3,5 h. existing road Split - Dubrovnik is usual 2 lanes road (at few sections 3 or 4 lanes (extra lanes for slow vehicles)). that road is not for fast driving, it has quite a lot curves (but not 90°curves or something like that), you can drive constantly 70-90 km/h without problems if it is not crowded (in summer it is very crowded!). but that road is a road with the best scenery around in Croatia. i passed it 3 years ago whole from Dubrovnik to Rijeka - it is absolutely fantastic, you'll be enjoying it!

My father is in croatia now and he is very happy with the improvements to the roads the past few years :) especially part of the A7

Greeting from Poland,

could you help with the status of A2 (I think this is the number) Zagreb-Slovenia (Maribor)??

on the whole way from Warsaw to Korcula that I would travel again soon, this was the biggest nightmare!!

Best regards and good luck with the Peljesac bridge - this would really help!!

[Verso]

^^ This has even more to do with Slovenia, so, motorway Maribor - Ptuj (as well as Maribor motorway bypass) will be completed in 2009, Ptuj - Croatia around 2013.

(btw, are you sure waiting in the port of Split wasn't bigger nightmare?:D)

[lkmiec]

^^ nop ;-)

the way to Korcula I always take through peljesac and a short ferry trip (usually I get there late in the evening)

the way back I take a ferry to split ;-)

and how are the other project going on in Slovenia? my family lived for a few years in Trbovlje, thus I have a huge sentiment to your country, as to other balkan countries:-)

Best regards

[KHS]

Bewegung in Europas Tunneln: Stolze 29 Röhren sind beim diesjährigen Test im Rahmen von EuroTAP auf der Siegesspur unterwegs. 18 von 51 Testkandidaten bekamen beim neunten europaweiten Tunnelcheck das Prädikat „sehr gut“. Elf Tunnel zeichneten die ADAC-Experten mit der Note gut aus. Auf gutem Weg sind auch noch die zwölf Röhren, die mit ihrem Ausreichend zumindest die Maßstäbe der EU-Richtlinie zur Sicherheit in Straßentunneln erfüllen.

Doch auch auf der Straße der Verlierer reiht sich Tunnel an Tunnel: Zehn Probanden zeigten die Tester die rote Karte, drei Mal mit der Wertung bedenklich, sieben Mal gar mit mangelhaft. Damit fiel gut jeder fünfte Testkandidat durch.

Im Scheinwerferlicht des Testsiegers sonnen darf sich heuer der kroatische Tunnel Brinje auf der A 1 Zagreb - Split. Drei Jahre alt und rund eineinhalb Kilometer lang erweist er sich als Musterknabe in Sachen Tunnelsicherheit. Den letzten Platz haben ein Mal mehr die Italiener für sich gebucht: Testverlierer ist der 40 Jahre alte, etwas mehr als einen Kilometer lange Paci 2 auf der A 3 Salerno – Reggio Calabria bei Scilla - nichts weiter als ein schwarzes Loch.

Auch heuer fand der Test im Rahmen des europäischen Projekts EuroTAP statt. EuroTAP wird von der EU-Kommission und zwölf europäischen Partnerclubs unterstützt.

Brinje Tunnel – The Best European Tunnel

The Brinje tunnel on the Zagreb-Split road has captured the first place out of 51 tunnels tested across Europe. The largest losers were Italian tunnels, which were described as ‘black holes’. The Brinje tunnel was opened in 2004.

yes, that's interesting, i haven't noticed that it would be good to have one at Karlovac too. but i'm sure when we build exit Novigrad (between Karlovac and Bosiljevo) there will be sign to NM and it will be the shortest route :)

[Verso]

^ Because now, when you leave the motorway by Karlovac, you firstly have to drive through Karlovac in order to reach the road for NM, right?

[x-type]

right. but through Karlovac you have fast city road (famous because of horrible crowds befor motorways were built). after Kupa bridge you take first turn right and you're on D6 in direction NM. i have never traveled along that road. and future exit Novigrad will be near 15th km of D6 from KA in direction NM. maybe you have allready noticed that everything is prepared for that exit on motorway, i really don't know why didn't they do it yet

Thank you... :) It's the exit of the tunnel, I don't know why there is this wall...

I also think it should be D8, but I guess it's temporary until they build the real A7...

Are there any pics from the entire A3 from Zagreb eastward towards the Serbian border? Or did i miss them?

[x-type]

you missed them. go to first page of this thread, there you have links for croatian motorways I, II, III and IV. good luck in searching them! :D
but there is absolutely nothing interesting on A3. only large object is bridge over river Sava (about 1000 m long, but nothing special) on Zagreb bypass. and if you like toll stations - there are 3 head toll stations (near Bregana, near Zagreb east (Ivanja Reka) and near Lipovac)

[Verso]

Chris, the A3 runs all the way from Slovenia to Serbia.

And while we're already by Chris' problem of searching for the A3, I suggest someone to collect pix from the previous threads (the "local" ones) of all the highways and put them here in the way I did with Slovenian highways. So, the A1 in one post, A2 in the other and so on, so we'd have one entire highway (A1 for example) in the same post, plus we wouldn't have the same sections scattered across over and over again. Now that would be great! What do you say? :)

I've been pondering creating a site for european motorways in general, kind of like aaroads.com, but I don't know if it's something that people will use, so I guess this is as good an opportunity as any to see if there's any interest for it. I'm a web developer by profession, so I know can make it easy for everyone to upload photos into categories and classify them etc. I know there's a few national or regional sites, but I thought it could be nice to have everything in one place.. I don't know how attached people are to these sites, and I certainly don't want to take anything away from anyone.

Is this something that anyone would want to see created, and use?

[ChrisZwolle]

Yeah i really like to have that! It would be great, an overview of all European motorways! there are some local sites already, like rippachtal.de, roadpics.net, autoroutes.free.fr, autobahnen.ch, but there are a lot of countries which are hardly covered.

Ok, I've put up a test site here (http://tammuz.interinter.net/). Obviously, it's far from finished, but you can start uploading photos into galleries (after you register a user, so we know who has uploaded something). It's pretty straight-forward. I've also added a suggestion box there, as I don't want to hijack this thread for that purpose, so if you have comments on what to change/add, please drop them off there :)

purple - built fast roads (A6, B8 and B9 will be upgraded into motorways, A6 is allready being upgraded)
dark green - fast roads opening this year
dark orange - fast roads in plan


*i have put whole A2 as built, last section is opening these days. however, there are 4 km left as half-motorway and after opening are going to be upgraded, but i don't have will to change a map once more :D

Nice one Verso :okay:

Are there any pictures of the newly-opened Split-Šestanovac section so far? I am very curious, especially about the viaduct over the Cetina canyon!

And another question: will there be a tunnel through the Biokovo mtns. from the A1 in order to reach Makarska? :banana: If so, how long will it be and where exactly will it be located?

Yes, there are pics:

[ChrisZwolle]

Very, very good. The landscape is really breathtaking. Reminds me of the region around Perpignan, but WAY better.

[picassoborseli]

Nice highways in Crotatia!!

[radi6404]

I hate it that the white lime for the middlemarkings is so fat, in Bulgaria they manage to add the middlemarkings without any lines and they are straight also, why don´t the coratians use that technology?

[Verso]

Wow for the pix! :cheers:

Humm... have you ever thought that they me the ones who have the edge in terms of technology?
Painting without middle markings is easy... you can even do it by hand. But having a technology that uses a middlemarking to lead the machine that does the paintings is clearly better.

[radi6404]

Ofcourse ti is done by mashine in bulgaria, two but they don´t need the strokes for the middlemarkings man.

I was just saying that not having the thin lines in between ins't a sign that the technology is better or whatever.

And as has been pointed, the thin lines will quickly fade away.

I just love these animal crossings. Very elegant. :cheers:

[Rebasepoiss]

^And they do cost a lot...

[keber]

For that type as on the picture around 3 mil. € per 100 m. Add few million more for similar crossing in, let's say in Austria.

[x-type]

does anybody know why are some of those crossings not lightened?

[KIWIKAAS]

does anybody know why are some of those crossings not lightened?

Which one(s)? All the ones pictured are lit.

Really nice motorways btw. Very well constructed and pleasing to the eye.




I'm sure that the ones in Bulgaria are better though:bash: :lol:

[keber]

does anybody know why are some of those crossings not lightened?

Animals, which want to use crossing, don't like strong lights. So often those crossings, if they are short, like the one on the picture, are not lit.

[Nephasto]

^^Agreed!
I don't see a reason for those crossings to be lightened.

[x-type]

Animals, which want to use crossing, don't like strong lights. So often those crossings, if they are short, like the one on the picture, are not lit.

i thought so, too.
oh, yes, those in Bulgaria at fucking shiny ultra modern Struma motorway must be better! :lol:

[Nephasto]

^^Certainly! In the Struma motorway the animal passes are lighted with UV lights at night so that animals can get tanned!

[KHS]

^^ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[snupix]

I was always wondering, what are those two "cameras" (or whatever they are) thate are looking at each other? Is it a smoke detector?

http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/6017/p70185441qw6.jpg

[keber]

Not exactly smoke detector (it is diferent), but fog detector. Yes, fog can occur in tunnels also.

[snupix]

Thanks. :cheers:

ps. I see a lot of knowledge in your answers, are you an engineer in the area?

Actually, :yes:

[ChrisZwolle]

I work in this area too, but i'm not into engineering, but into investigating, research and designing traffic infrastructure. It's mostly office work, but also in the field :)

[Nephasto]

^^Ah! That's why you travel so much on the roads on the Netherlands and Belgium! :)

[snupix]

Very interesting! I have a big interest in that area, too, but I never chose it as my profession (traffic and public/urban transit and traffic). Yet, my wish is to work in the area, i.e. automatic control on the highways/railways, i.e.:

Nope, that's just because i love to drive :lol:

But i have to travel a lot for my work too, but that's mostly not further than 100km from my hometown.

OFCOURSE

[edolen1]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but why does this sign say "Blato n/C"? What does that "n/C" mean?

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m197/ppero2/P7018531-1.jpg

[ChrisZwolle]

Blato na Cetini i think. It is a standard abbreviation in Slavic languages that the town is situated on a river. (Think of Usti nad Labem in Czechia).

[x-type]

that's right. you can quite often find similar abbrevitations at croatian direction tables. althought - there is absolutely enough space to write full name :lol:

i know that you can see Brod n/K (na Kupi), or often in newspapers Novigrad n/m (na moru [at the seaside]), i'm 99% sure that there is some place which has "na Sutli" in its name

[edolen1]

Interesting, it's not used in Slovenian.. We tend to just abbreviate the last name (like Dol pri Ljub., instead of Dol pri Ljubljani), but as far as I know it is discouraged to be used on signs..

Thanks! :)

[Verso]

Interesting, it's not used in Slovenian.We're awfully backwards when it comes to abbreviations. :)

Short simple queston.
How is the A1 construction towards Ploce going and when is this part going to be completed?
And of course - are there any pics from the construction site?
This would be awesome.

No man, i am not pissed off but Croatia surely hasn´t the best motorways in the world, you are on my nerves since a long time now. Croatian motorways look good but the best, surely not. They don´t look so quality also there´s always a lot of dust on the motorways. And with the oversaturated pictures you just give me an impression that the pics you guys show are rather amatorious and give me a feeling of, oh just look how "cool" our Croatian motorways are.

[KHS]

I never said that man. That were MisiekSnk´s words and you should respect his opinion.

They don´t look so quality also there´s always a lot of dust on the motorways.

They look surely better then your Struma motorway. How do you explain sand on the road and no middlemarking line?

And with the oversaturated pictures you just give me an impression that the pics you guys show are rather amatorious and give me a feeling of, oh just look how "cool" our Croatian motorways are.

At least we have pictures to show. You gave us 4 or 5 crapy photos and we are suppose to fall on our butt.

Look, I don´t want to argue with you. That wasn´t my intention. :cheers:

[radi6404]

KHS, you are ridiculous, the middmarkings are allready there! They weren´t as they didn´t have enough time to finish it before it was time to opne the motorway, now there are markings. The crashbarriers are better, also the signs, you will see

[KHS]

^^ I can´t understand how could they open that motorway if it still wasn´t finished. They first had to get usage authorization (i don´t know right english expression) before allowing the traffic on the road. It is just to dangerous. Specially at night.

Are you kidding or what, people there drive with 200+ all the time, motorists drive even faster and nothing happens, at night it isn´t dangerous either, it would be better with the markings, but the middlebarriers are shiny and reflect and they also have these red things that reflect evehn more like many crashbarriers in europe, in Croatia they have the red stuff also? And i told you, at night everything is shining and it is bright enough, ofcourse i want them to be installed aswell but they already are installed.

[keber]

And i told you, at night everything is shining and it is bright enough, ofcourse i want them to be installed aswell but they already are installed.

Look, I understand, you like shining barriers, but this sentence is way too much.:bash:

Shiny crashbarriers DO NOT shine in the night. Period.

[radi6404]

Keber, that´s not true, if you spot the barrier with the light it reflects the light ofcourse, i would like to call you something for hwat you are talking man. as if i hadn´t seen it myself LOL.

[keber]

Look, do not lie, barriers do not shine at night. You do see barrier at night, but it's nothing compared to white marking (or yellow) lines, painted on pavement. Safety features of visibility are lane markings, not shining barriers. W
