Summary/Abstract: Although the town of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar-Bilogora County are located in the middle part of the Croatian Pannonian area, their traffic significance has not been fully shown due to insufficiently developed infrastructure of the road and the railroad traffic. The most important Croatian and international road and railroad corridors to connect the East and the West cross the Sava River basin and the Drava River basin area. Main routes go from the North towards the South, from Budapest, through Zagreb and towards Rijeka, and from Osijek towards Ploče. Higher quality road and railroad connections from Pécs through Bjelovar, Zagreb, Banja Luka and Gradiška, through Daruvar towards Varaždin can considerably improve the traffic significance of Bjelovar and the Bjelovar Bilogora County in the future. Quality road connections such as Bjelovar – Čazma – Petrinja – Krnjak - Ogulin could lower the traffic intensity of the existing roads from Hungary through Varaždin and Zagreb towards Kvarner bay.
