## About Slavonski Šamac – Šamac

Right next to the motorway crossing at Svilaj, in Posavina, sits the small Sava crossing of Slavonski Šamac – Šamac. On the Bosnian side lies Šamac in Republika Srpska, from where local roads lead into northern Bosnia. For travellers from Poland it is mainly a quiet alternative to the motorway, useful when the destination is in the area rather than on the road to Sarajevo. It handles cars in both directions.

Entry from Bosnia into Croatia is remarkably even here: in the 60-day data every day of the week comes out at around an hour and twenty minutes, and the difference between the best and worst time of day is a few minutes – shortest at night, longest in the afternoon, with small peaks around Saturday midday. There are few measurements for the opposite direction, so it is better not to draw day-of-week conclusions; on average, leaving Croatia for Bosnia took a similar time, a little over an hour.

In the ranking of ten Croatia–Bosnia crossings, Šamac comes third, behind Svilaj and Vinjani Donji – Gorica. Because the wait barely changes, it works as a predictable option at weekends, when Slavonski Brod – Brod or Jasenovac – Gradina see Sunday queues into Croatia of more than two hours. If you are driving on the motorway from Sarajevo or Doboj, though, neighbouring Svilaj is clearly quicker in the data – about 20–30 minutes.
