Exceptional load transport

The manager of exceptional load transport must register the transport after it has been formed, or immediately prior to its departure, for Category II and Category III of exceptional load transport, via the information system of Hrvatske ceste d.o.o.

The manager of the exceptional load transport shall register the commencement of the exceptional load transport in the IPR system immediately prior to its departure:

• the registration number of the towing/tractor vehicle;
• the date and time of commencement of the exceptional load transport;
• the details of the appointed manager of the exceptional load tansport, including contact information
• the authorized person is required to mark the transport as completed in the application after the transport has been finished.

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, that shall be deemed exceptional load transport without a permit.

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

When, in exceptional circumstances, it is necessary to extend the validity period of the transport notification, the permit issuer, the road authorities responsible for the roads on the itinerary, the traffic inspection authority (e-mail: uprava-ceste@mmpi.hr), and the competent police administration must be notified by e-mail and a detailed explanation must be provided as to why the exceptional load transport cannot be carried out as originally planned.

If a particular road is closed, a change of route is permitted only with the approval of the permit issuer or the road authority responsible for the road forming the alternative route.

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).

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

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.

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.
