Route Description
The A11 motorway is an incomplete north–south motorway in Croatia, spanning D30 and D31 state roads south of Velika Gorica. The designed motorway route is of regional importance as it is planned to gradually take over traffic from state road network in the area, especially the D30 which carries a significant commuter traffic volume between Zagreb, Velika Gorica and Sisak. As of September 2011, mere 9 kilometres (5.6 miles) of the route are open to traffic, connecting the D31 and the D30 roads at Velika Gorica and Buševec exits respectively. The two are the only exits opened on the motorway. The D30 and the D31 have a shared intersection in Velika Gorica itself, providing an alternative route to the motorway section. Legally designated termini of the A11 motorway are the Jakuševec interchange on the Zagreb bypass and Sisak.
The A11 motorway has at least two traffic lanes and an emergency lane in each direction along its entire length. The Velika Gorica interchange is a cloverleaf interchange, and the Buševec exit comprises a trumpet interchange. As of September 2011, the A11 route also comprises Mraclin mainline toll plaza, which is not operating as the motorway is not tolled at this time, and there are no rest areas.
An automatic traffic monitoring and guidance system is in place along the motorway. It consists of measuring, control and signaling devices located in zones where driving conditions may vary, such as at interchanges, viaducts, bridges and zones where fog and strong wind are known to occur. The system uses variable traffic signs to communicate changing driving conditions, possible restrictions and other information to motorway users. The A11 motorway mainly runs through a plain south of Sava River requiring no major structures except for the exit interchanges themselves

“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
