About Slavonski Brod – Brod
In Slavonski Brod the border runs right through town: a Sava bridge links Croatia's Slavonski Brod with Brod in Republika Srpska, from where the road continues towards Doboj. The A3 motorway is only a few kilometres away, which makes this the natural choice for drivers heading from Zagreb or Slavonia into Bosnia, and for those returning north the same way. It handles cars in both directions.
The 60-day data show that leaving Croatia for Bosnia usually takes a little under an hour and a half here, but Friday clearly stands out: peaks fall between 16:00 and 18:00, and you should then expect close to two hours. Sunday and the start of the week are the shortest. In the opposite direction Sunday is the worst – around two and a half hours on average, with peaks at lunchtime and in the evening around 19:00 – and Saturday is not much better. The calmest return is at night and on Wednesday.
In the ranking of ten Croatia–Bosnia crossings, Slavonski Brod is fourth. If you are coming back from Bosnia at a weekend, plan the drive so that you reach the border at night, as mornings and afternoons are clearly worse here. Alternatives are Svilaj on the Corridor Vc motorway a few dozen kilometres away, where typical waits stay at about half an hour or less in both directions, or Slavonski Šamac – Šamac, which has a very even entry into Croatia.
