Driving in Croatia: Autocesta A7 E61 & D8 from Rijeka to Crikvenica

In this video you can ride along on Autocesta A7 E61 & D8 E65 from Rijeka to Crikvenica. Rijeka is a larger coastal city in Croatia, not that far from the border with Slovenia.
The geography of Rijeka is quite interesting as it's nestled between a mountainous coastline. The A7 motorway is therefore a really interesting road from a scenery perspective. After leaving the Rijeka urban area, there are some nice views of the Adriatic coast.

    Žmigavci i ostali svjetlosni signali uz svirenu su jedina kimunikacija u prometu među vozačima,obratite pažnju i svakako pazite na ograničenje brzine👍😃❤️🍀

    The first part looked like the autostrada's around Genua in Italy. Nice (new) roads, tunnels and viaducts 👍👍

    There are many such highway type roads in Croatia called autoceste (plural). And this particular section is arround city of Rijeka.

    Some parts of this highway were built in the early 70s

    This motorway is planned to be extended further south towards Senj, it will run on the edge of the mountain, cross the Vratnik mountain pass and connect to A1 in the continent.

    Driving in Croatia is great. Did you take the A1 or the D8 coastal route?

    difficult terrain is a lower road standard. This can be understood compared to misleading drivers that the surface is slippery where, except for one short fragment, it was dry.

    Great drive! Why does the A7 use the blue sign instead of the normal green sign since it is a motorway?

    Maybe they never replaced the old D8 signs?

    Because big portions of it do not have a hard shoulder/emergency lane due to hilly terrain. So it is a highway but it technically counts as an expressway (blue signs)

    cause it´s technically not a motorway but a 4-lane expressway (it carries the a7 sign temporarily until another motorway, the new a7, is built behind Rijeka in motorway standard)

    Because what is Blue is for free. What is green you pay.

    @@ckdanekfan3397 Wrong, it means it is not up to motorway standard due to lack of shoulder so it means it is expressway.
