Road Conditions • Road surface conditions vary. • Major stretches of Croatia’s network of major roads have been upgraded. • Sections of these routes are still under construction: » The A1 from Zagreb south to Split and Dubrovnik » The A6 connecting Zagreb and Rijeka • Roads on Croatia’s outlying islands are often narrow and winding. • There are many toll roads. Tolls may be paid in cash or by credit card. • Many rural roads are narrow and unlit, and have no lane markings. • Farm equipment is common on rural roads. • Both large and small wild animals may be encountered on rural roadways. • Parking in cities is often difficult to find. • Roads presenting particular challenges to motorists include, but are not limited to: » Sveti Jure mountain pass in the Biokovo mountains is the country’s highest mountain road. The road is extremely steep and narrow with hairpin turns, and can only accommodate traffic in one direction in multiple areas. » D102 on the island of Krk is the main road; there are numerous twists and turns. » A section of the A3 Motorway between Staro Petrova Selo and Nova Gradiška has a high number of crashes. The road has an asphalt surface. » The road through the Pitve tunnel on the island of Jelsa is in very bad condition with poor surfaces and is only wide enough for traffic in one direction. The one-lane tunnel is unlit most of the year except during busy tourist times; approaching headlights indicate oncoming traffic. Regional and Seasonal Conditions • Changing EU regulations have resulted in delays approaching border crossing to Slovenia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Hungary. • Traffic jams are common during summer months to and from coastal areas. • Croatia is subject to rock slides in coastal areas and mountain regions following heavy rains. • Shutdowns at tunnel entrances occur year-round; most frequently during heavy congestion. • The coastal area has a Mediterranean climate with long, hot, dry summers and moderate, windy winters. • In Zagreb, rain and fog are common from October through December. Occasionally heavy snowfall occurs from December to March. • Be familiar with emergency procedures.

Look for metered taxis with phone number and company name on side of car at official taxi stands (airports, bus and train stations, tourist centers). • Ferries and catamarans from the state-owned and run Jadrolinija company offer regular, efficient service to outlying islands. Service is available from mainland ports including Rijeka, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik. • Multiple private companies offer additional ferry and boat service during peak tourist times. Traffic Regulations • A new network of surveillance cameras is being installed across the country, along with “smart traffic lights” that halt traffic in areas where speeding occurs. • Pedestrians have right of way when using crosswalks. • The pedestrian-friendly island of Silba is car-free year round. • At intersections without signals, traffic entering from right has right of way. • Motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear fastened helmets. • Children under 16 are required to wear helmets when cycling. • Use of dipped headlights in mandatory during winter months and Speed Limits when fog is present. • Use of dipped headlights is mandatory year-round for motorcycle Type of road Maximum speed and moped drivers. Motorways 130 kph ( 80 mph) • A nationaldriver’s license from driver’s own country is required. and highways 110 kph • An International Driving Permit is not required but is Two-lane expressways (68 mph) recommended. 50 kph Urban areas • Drivers should carry passport and proof of insurance.

  • Autocesta Zagreb – Sisak
    A 11 AUTOCESTA ZAGREB – SISAK Zagreb, ožujak 2006. SEKTOR ZA GRAĐENJE ODJEL ZA PROJEKTIRANJE A 11 AUTOCESTA ZAGREB - SISAK OPĆENITO Programom prostornog uređenja Republike Hrvatske iz 1999. godine autocesta Zagreb - Sisak pripada prvoj skupini prioriteta koji su od važnosti za državu. Trasa počinje na obilaznici Zagreba kod mjesta Jakuševec u čvorištu Jakuševec te završava spojem na postojeću državnu cestu D37 Sisak - Petrinja. Autocesta je duljine ~ 47,5 km uključivo i odvojak za privremeni spoj na D37 duljine ~1,2 km. Grad Sisak će se preko čvora Sisak spojiti na autocestu te je predviđena spojna cesta za Sisak duljine ~ 3 km koja se spaja na glavnu os autoceste. Južni ulaz u grad Zagreb u dužini od cca 1.3 km predviđen je nadvožnjakom iznad ranžirnog kolodvora i spojem na produženu Sarajevsku ulicu. Postojeća prometna infrastruktura (državna cesta D30 i D36) koja spaja Zagreb i Sisak ne zadovoljava potrebe suvremenog prometa, te će se planiranom autocestom povezati najznačajnija gospodarska žarišta u Hrvatskoj koristeći najpovoljnije prirodne mogućnosti za vođenje prometnice. TRASA Trasa je “postavljena” na osnovu dosadašnjih istraživanja koridora Zagreb – Sisak i nalazi se unutar koridora predviđenog za tu autocestu iz prostornih planova Zagrebačke i Sisačko-moslavačke županije. Autocesta ima glavne spojeve na postojeću mrežu u području Zagreb – Velika Gorica (A 3: Bregana – Zagreb – Lipovac, te D 30: Velika Gorica – Petrinja – H. Kostajnica i D 31: Velika Gorica – Pokupsko) i u području Sisak – Petrinja (D 36 Pokupsko – Sisak i D 37: Sisak – Petrinja – Glina). Spomenuti spojevi su čvorišta “Jakuševec” i “Velika Gorica – jug” te priključci Veliko Polje i Velika Gorica u području Zagreb – Velika Gorica, dok su u području Sisak – Petrinja to čvorišta “Sisak” i “Mošćenica”, te čvorišta “Lekenik” kao spoj na D 30 preko Ž 3230 i “Buševec” kao spoj na Ž 3116.

  • "Ethnic Conflict," and the Future of Warfare
    THE RISE, DECLINE, SHALLOWNESS, AND BANALITY OF MILITANT NATIONALISM IN EUROPE: HOBBES, THUGS, "ETHNIC CONFLICT," AND THE FUTURE OF WARFARE John Mueller August 11, 1999 Prepared for delivery at the 1999 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Atlanta Marriott Marquis and Atlanta Hilton and Towers, Atlanta, GA, September 2-5, 1999. Copyright by the American Political Science Association. Department of Political Science University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627-0146 USA 716-275-5236 716-271-1616 (fax) [email protected] www.rochester.edu/College/PSC/Mueller ABSTRACT Most European nationalism is not of the militant variety, does not necessarily imply violence, and may actually be helpful in the process of development and change. The apparent rise of militant nationalism in Europe in the early 1990s was not a harbinger, but rather something of a historical blip. Moreover, it was often quite shallow, even in Yugoslavia, and its effects were exaggerated by some peculiarities of early experiments with democracy in the area. The most destructive expression of militant nationalism in Europe--that which took place in Yugoslavia--was not spawned so much by the convulsive surging of ancient hatreds or by the crafty manipulations of demagogic politicians and the media: indeed, when finally given a chance to express such hatreds in government-sanctioned violence, ordinary soldiers deserted en masse. Rather, the destruction was largely carried out by small bands of opportunistic thugs and criminals operating in a sort of anarchic situation. In this, nationalism was often more of an ordering device than a viscerally motivating force. Because the violence in Yugoslavia was chiefly carried out by small, opportunistic, and essentially cowardly bands of thugs and bullies, policing the situation would probably have been fairly easy for almost any organized, disciplined, and sizeable army.

    A1 BAYESIAN RESPONDER META-ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL ANESTHESIA TO PREVENT CHRONIC PAIN AFTER ILIAC CREST BONE GRAFT HARVESTING Michael H. Andreae , M.D.1, Matthew Johnson2, Henry Sacks3 1Anesthesiology, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, 2Teachers College, Columbia University, 3Preventive Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA Introduction: Iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) remains the gold standard for autologous bone grafting. IBCG harvesting can lead to persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP), devastating and difficult to treat (Brull 1992). Local anesthetics administration may reduce this risk (Singh 2007). PPSP trials typically report heterogeneous outcomes, making classical frequentist meta-analysis in our Cochrane review in print (Andreae 2012) challenging. To overcome this limitation, we developed a Bayesian model on regional anesthesia for the prevention of persistent pain after IBCG harvesting. We pooled dichotomous and continuous pain outcomes at varying follow up intervals. Methods: Methods were detailed in our systematic review for the Cochrane Collaboration in print (Andreae 2012). Search: Briefly, we searched the Cochrane Central, PubMed, EMBASE and CINAHL (1966 to April 2012) without any language restriction using a combination of free text and controlled vocabulary. We searched conference abstracts by hand. Selection: We included randomized and non-randomized controlled clinical trials with pain outcomes at least 12 weeks postoperatively. Included studies compared local or regional anesthesia versus conventional analgesia for chronic pain after ICBG harvest. Data extraction: We assessed trial quality and extracted pain outcome, including information on adverse events. Bayesian model: We developed a longitudinal Bayesian model in OpenBUGS with three time points to estimate the posterior distribution of the odds ratio of chronic pain six months after surgery.
