Summary/Abstract: A systematic spatial and economic planning of traffic development and well elaborated spatial and temporal development phases regarding all elements of the traffic system (infrastructure, vehicles, organisation, surveillance and management) represent a strategic interest of every individual state, region, city and town. The City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County have not fully used all the potential of their very favourable geo-traffic prerequisites for the development of the traffic system, so that the strategically and economically important traffic connections of the east-west and north-south directions detour this region. The economic and social development aspects of the City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County depend on high-quality road and railway connections; new connections of the east-west and north-south directions should necessarily be added and the existing ones enhanced. The main traffic connections between Pecs and Banja Luka via Bjelovar and Zagreb, and between Gradiška and Varaždin via Daruvar might in future considerably enhance the traffic importance of the City of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. Other connections, in particular a high-quality road connection Bjelovar – Čazma – Petrinja – Krnjak – Ogulin, might relieve the existing roads connecting Hungary with Rijeka and the Kvarner Bay via Varaždin and Zagreb.
