About Maljevac – Velika Kladuša
In the north-western corner of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Croatia's Kordun region meets the Una-Sana canton, traffic crosses at Maljevac – Velika Kladuša. On the Bosnian side lie Velika Kladuša and, further on, Cazin and Bihać; on the Croatian side, roads lead into Karlovac county. For drivers from Poland it is more a way into the Una valley and the Bihać area than a transit route to the coast. The crossing handles cars.
The last 60 days of measurements cover only the direction from Bosnia into Croatia. A typical entry takes about 1 hour 40 minutes here, and close to two hours at weekends; Tuesday is the shortest, Sunday the longest, with peaks on Sunday between 16:00 and 17:00 and on Saturday morning. At night the queue is shorter than in the morning or afternoon, though not by much. There is not enough data for the direction from Croatia into Bosnia, so no pattern can be given.
In the ranking of the ten published Croatia–Bosnia crossings, Maljevac is second to last. If you are returning from the Una valley to Croatia, consider driving at night or midweek and avoid Sunday afternoon. The Sava crossings, such as Stara Gradiška – Gradiška or Slavonski Šamac – Šamac, offer quicker entry into Croatia in the data, but from this part of Bosnia that means a considerable detour, so picking the right time is usually the better option.

Calculated for a car at 7,0 L/100 km, petrol 95 at the country average on the day of calculation. Substitute your own consumption — the whole formula is here.
A road charge is counted only where the route actually uses a toll road. A vignette is always counted, because in many countries it is required on ordinary roads too.
Where a drive uses a toll motorway, the barrier toll for that section is included in the figure, at the price the road operator publishes for it. A vignette is a flat national price.
