A driver from Serbia, who spends his summers on the Croatian coast, has expressed concern over potential speeding fines after driving on Croatian highways and the Zagreb bypass. He estimates his speed on the bypass was around 130 kilometers per hour, while on the highway, he occasionally drove between 150 and 160 km/h, often following other vehicles with foreign and Croatian license plates. His primary worry stems from passing what he believes were three consecutive speed cameras on the Zagreb bypass. He posted on Reddit, asking if he should expect three separate fines to be sent to his address in Serbia or how such a system functions. Reddit users engaged in a discussion about speed tolerance on Croatian roads and the likelihood of receiving multiple penalties. Some advised that while fines might not be directly sent to Serbia, they could pose a problem upon his next entry into Croatia. They also suggested using speed camera alert apps like Radarbot or Waze and slowing down before approaching radar warnings. Several commenters noted that Croatian highways are generally tolerant of slightly higher speeds. Regarding the bypass cameras, some Zagreb residents indicated that the cameras, particularly one before Buzin, are often lenient or may not even be fully operational, suggesting he might not face penalties for his speeds, especially if he was following other traffic.
