Summary/Abstract: The general condition of the transport infrastructure and traffic in the area of Velebit Podgorje is shown, with a reference to the times of the emergence of the historical roads, routes and paths. It is indicated in the more important potentials of secondary roads, which should be evaluated in the sense of the general offer of Velebit (tourism, sport, educational component...), but also with regard to the revival of traditional aspects of real life "in situ". Following on these kinds of assumptions, the modelling of projects could be carried out for the cases of neglected historical roads (e.g. the road Jablanac – V. Alan – Štirovača, the Majstorska cesta Obrovac – M. Alan – Sveti Rok) and the projects of seasonal-migratory paths from the littoral settlements to the summer dwellings ont he more fertile Velebit localities (e.g. the path Klada – Babrovača – Zavižan, Prizna – Mliništa– Šatorina, Cesarica – Radlovac – Dabrovi and alike). Along with the subsystem of secondary roads also problematized is the condition of the access and safety of traffic on the main Adriatic highway – the magistrale – tourist road the D-8 as the basic coastal connection of Podgorje. The bad condition and the need of the very urgent modernisation the whole of the road from Senj to Maslenica is pointed out, as well as the construction of a bypass around Sveti Juraj and Karlobag. The connections to the smaller settlements along the coast (Lukovo, Donja Klada, Starigrad etc.) should also be modernised.
