State roads in Croatia

Prapratno, at the southern terminus of the D415 road

D416 branches off to the south from the D414 near Ston towards Prapratno ferry port - providing ferry access to Sobra on island of Mljet and the D123 state road. The road is 0.9 km (0.56 mi) long.^[1]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, state owned company.^[2]

Traffic volume

Traffic is not regularly counted on the road, however, Hrvatske ceste report number of vehicles using Prapratno-Sobra ferry line, connecting D416 to the D123 state road.^[3] Furthermore the D416 road carries some local traffic on Pelješac peninsula itself, which does use the ferry at all, substantially exceeding the ferried traffic. Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road connects to a number of summer resorts.
