Source-derived summary

D203 is a state road in Gorski Kotar region of Croatia connecting Brod na Kupi and nearby border crossing to Slovenia to D3 state road in Delnice, and the road also serves as a connecting road to the A6 motorway as it terminates near Delnice interchange. The road is 11.2 km (7.0 mi) long.

The D30 and all other state roads in Croatia are managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, state owned company.

Traffic volume

Traffic is regularly counted and reported by Hrvatske ceste, operator of the road. Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road serves as an approach to the Croatian A6 motorway carrying considerable tourist traffic.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “D203 road” is road in Croatia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through D203, road and Croatia, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 119-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, D203, road and Croatia is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “road in Croatia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5204008. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
