D40 is a state road connecting A6 and A7 motorways at Čavle and Sveti Kuzam interchanges respectively,^[1] to D3 and D8 state roads and Kukuljanovo industrial zone in Rijeka. The road is 7.6 km long.^[2]

As the road passes through the industrial zone, it comprises a substantial number of junctions there, most of which have separate left turn lanes in order to facilitate a better flow of traffic.

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 A6 motorway and D8 state road carrying substantial tourist traffic.
