Šibenik, where D33 terminates

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 state road in Knin, which in turn connects to Sinj to the south and to Gračac to the north. The southern terminus of the road is found in Šibenik ferry port, from where Jadrolinija ferries fly to Žirje, Kaprije and Zlarin islands.^[1] The road also connects to A1 motorway Šibenik interchange via D533.^[2] The road is 75.1 km (46.7 mi) long. The northern terminus of the road is at Strmica border crossing to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the road proceeds to Drvar.^[3]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, a state-owned company.^[4]

Traffic volume

Traffic is regularly counted and reported by Hrvatske ceste, operator of the road.^[5] 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 (via D533) and it carries substantial tourist traffic.
