Ploče, at the southern terminus of D513

D513 is a state road connecting Ploče and the D62 state road near Mali Prolog.^[1]

As of 2010^[update], this road serves as one of the connecting roads to the A1 motorway Ravča interchange for Ploče, Rogotin and Drvenik as well as Port of Ploče and resorts and cities further south, via D8 state road. The road is 16.60 km (10.31 mi) long.^[2]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, 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 the A1 motorway and the D8 state road carrying substantial tourist traffic.
