Source-derived summary

D504 is a state road in Lika region of Croatia connecting the D1 state road to Ličko Petrovo Selo border crossing to Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina via the D217 state road. The road is 9.9 km (6.2 mi) long.

The D504, like all state roads in Croatia, is 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 seasonal variations of the traffic volume is attributed to summer tourist traffic.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “D504 road” is road in Croatia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through D504, road and Croatia, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 85-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, D504, 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

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5204127.

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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
