D33 road (Croatia)

D33 connects Šibenik to Drniš and Knin. Furthermore, the road has junctions to major state roads, namely D8 in Šibenik, connecting to Biograd na Moru and Trogir, and D1 in Knin, which in turn connects to Sinj to the south and to Gračac to the north.[maps 1] The southern terminus of the road is found in Vidici interchange near Šibenik. The road is also connected to A1 motorway in Šibenik interchange.[1] The road is 73.3 km (45.5 mi) long. The northern terminus of the road is at Strmica border crossing to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the road proceeds to Drvar.[2]

Part of the road between Lozovac and Vidici interchange in Šibenik is executed as a single-carriageway, two-lane expressway with a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph) and, until 2012, used to be designated as D533 road.

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, a state-owned company.[3]

Traffic volume

Traffic is regularly counted and reported by Hrvatske ceste, operator of the road.[4] Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road serves as a connection to A1 motorway and it carries substantial tourist traffic.
