Travelling by car
 Coming
from central Europe, you can reach some of the
coast destinations faster by car than by train.
During the summer months traffic at the borders
is a bit heavier, and that can cause some delay.
To enter and drive in Croatia, you will require
a green insurance card and valid national or international
driving permit.
Fuel: Petrol stations in
big towns and cities as well as on important roads
are open non-stop, otherwise the working hours
are from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Lead-free petrol
is available on all petrol stations and it is
called bezolovni (green label). In July and August
news and traffic information are broadcast in
English and German regularly on main Croatian
broadcast stations. A toll is payable on motorways.
Regulations: Traffic drives
on the right. Speed limits are 130kph (81mph)
on motorways, 100kph (62mph) on dual carriageways,
50kph (31mph) in built-up areas and 80kph (50mph)
outside built-up areas. The amount of the fine
depends on the extent of the infraction committed.
Blood/alcohol limit is 0.5 ppm.
Accidents must be reported to the
police (Policija) immediately. Police emergency
number is 92.
