Plitvice Lakes National Park, accessed from the A1 motorway via the D522 road

The D522 is a brza cesta (expressway), a limited-access road with an increased speed limit.

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, 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 A1 motorway connector, carrying substantial tourist traffic especially to Plitvice Lakes National Park.
