Frequently asked questions

1. What information is mandatory for a correct application of exceptional road transport?

The carrier or intermediary is obliged to register through the IPR system for each exceptional road transport before the transport starts. The key information for the transport application are those that were not available at the time of submission of the request for the exceptional transport permit issuance, namely:

  • the exact start time of the exceptional transport
  • the planned end time of the exceptional transport in accordance with the provided itinerary
  • initial vehicle mileage
  • planned final mileage.

In case incorrect information is entered in the application, the transport application will be considered invalid.

In case it is determined through control that the exceptional transport is carried out with incorrect data entered (place and time of departure - day, hour and minute, initial mileage), or without entered data on the time and final mileage of the previously performed exceptional transport, the permit is revoked and returned to the permit issuer. The permit issuer performs the final calculation of the revoked permit.

The determined irregularity shall be considered the performance of exceptional transport without a permit.

2. What needs to be done in situations where trucks are stopped due to extraordinary events, and the transport application is limited to a maximum of 24 hours?

When in extraordinary situations it is necessary to extend the duration of the transport application, it is necessary to notify the permit issuer, the road managers on the itinerary, the traffic inspection and the police by e-mail and request the issuer to change the transport application/permit in accordance with the deviation of the exceptional transport from the transport application.

If a certain road is closed, a change of route is possible only with the approval of the issuer or manager of the alternative route.

3. Is it possible to obtain a permit for the transport of two trucks placed on the same semi-trailer in such a way that the prescribed height is exceeded?

The transport of 2 trucks, if it does not lead to an additional increase in the legally permitted masses and dimensions, can be carried out on one transport assembly without obtaining a permit, as it does not constitute exceptional transport.

The transport that, due to the location of the trucks being transported, does not comply with the permitted weight and dimensions (it is too high), cannot be considered exceptional transport, since it includes 2 pieces of load (it is not indivisible load).

4. Is it required to obtain two separate permits when the exceptional transport itinerary crosses the border of the Republic of Croatia and returns back to the Republic of Croatia?

When creating an itinerary that crosses the border of the Republic of Croatia and returns to the Republic of Croatia, it is not necessary to obtain two permits, but it is necessary to enter two routes.

Example of an itinirary with BIH border crossing at Neum:

Route 1: Ston – Zaton Doli border crossing

Route 2: Klek border crossing – Opatija

  • For the first (initial) route, enter the starting point Ston, and for the ending point Zaton Doli border crossing
  • Create new route with ''+new route''

  • On the second route, enter the starting point – Klek border crossing, and the ending point – Opatija

5. I want to cancel the Application because the transport did not start / broken-down vehicle.

Once the Application has been submitted, it is not possible to cancel it. By submitting the Application, the Permit is considered consumed. Before the final submission, the system always generates a working version of the Application that can be prepared at any time and edited an unlimited number of times before the final submission.

The application for exceptional road transport is entered into the system when it is determined that all elements of exceptional road transport, especially the transport assembly (vehicle with cargo), escort vehicles and professional staff, are ready for the start of exceptional road transport in accordance with the issued permit and road conditions.

It is recommended to make an application for exceptional road transport immediately before the start of the transport in order to avoid unforeseen situations such as changes in the route's passability (weather conditions), vehicle breakdowns, etc., and the costs of issuing a new permit.

6. In what way, where is it placed and how is the correctness of the board with the inscription – the Exceptional road transport label – how and where is it placed, and how to determine its correctness?

The label with the text "exceptional road transport" is placed outside the vehicle cabin, and not behind the glass, because it creates a glare and reduces the necessary visibility. The correctness of the label also depends on several factors such as age, type and quality of the foil, storage and maintenance. A visual inspection can determine visibility of the label in daytime, i.e. it should have clear contrasts and a completely preserved foil (no scratches). As for proper visibility at night, experienced persons can recognize reduced reflection while accurate reflection can be measured with a retro reflection measuring device.
