Šibenik, at the southern terminus of the D533 road

All D533 road junctions except for its northern terminus (north of A1) were grade separated. The D533 was executed as a single-carriageway, two-lane expressway with a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph).

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, was managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, state owned company.[5]

Traffic volume edit

Traffic is regularly counted and reported by Hrvatske ceste, operator of the road.[6] Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road serves as a connection of the city of Šibenik and several tourist resorts to the Croatian motorway network.
